He passes you and says “Hello”, and you reply with “Hi”, is that solicitation for sex?

According to Mikey, it’s not only solicitation, it’s acceptance and you are obligated to engage.

He passes you and says "Hello", and you reply with "Hi", is that solicitation for sex? So lets say a guy walks into a bar, you are sitting at the bar drinking a beer.

Just because a DNS server replies with an MX record when asked for one is not soliciting random email. Not only that, but the RFC specifies that if a DNS server does not respond to an MX query, the mail server has to fall back onto the standard A record for the domain name in question. Is that solicitation? Unsolicited email is mail that I receive but have not requested to receive. Especially when it contains advertisements. Just because I have a mail box, does not mean that someone can come by and just drop off 100's of pieces of mail, thereby clogging up my mail system. Bullshit.
