[Dxspider-support] $DXProt::senderverify = '2'

Yes, but ... the backbone network traffic is still gonna be the backbone network traffic. Doing it the way you suggest makes the change redundant in the current context, does it not?.

I'm not advocating for things to be one way or another. Just quietly watching (as best I can)

The difficulty is that - as I've read it (and I'd be delighted to be corrected) - with DXProt::senderverify = '2' the node drops the spot and doesn't forward on its neighbours - so that node makes a unilateral decision on whether the spot is good or not for the rest of the network. I'd be much more comfortable with the parameter just impacting what's displayed to the users on the node. 

Apologies if I have mis-understood this.

Agree,

So here is each sysop's choice. As some servers do not identify the login of their users, and thus their spots are not validated as coming from a valid server -> user -> spot chain, choose:

- Accept non properly authenticaded but valid spots, AND accept all fake spots, or,

- Reject some valid spots because its uncompleted validation chain AND reject all the fake spots.

This election will be later evaluated by the users, who will decide either it is better having fewer spots, but all valid, or a lot of fake ones.
