This is why I like techniques like this, typically there is no false positive because any email that is delayed will depend on the senders email server to retry or not time-out. Most spam tools know that they are full of bogus messages so they don't retry, all legit mail servers know how to retry, even if they don't have adjustable timeouts. (as I recall its part of the RFC's that they retry) If you do run across a legit sender that does not retry can be added to the whitelist. - -- Rance Hall System Administrator Nebraska Turkey Growers 1-308-468-5711, ext. 106 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFdba90tI7mAGO6FwRAtNXAJ4z7q6t3X/xasHZFqesl9n0vsHhswCgoP31 zxjJ+nolBk0jvspI2YiWDfk= =H2zc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
