Perhaps the problem is too much hype over spam, with too many half baked schemes to stop it. I've already put forward the idea that if the ISPs checked for an open relay when the client logs on and if one is found notify the client and then block the account the ill configured mailers would get fixed. If the spammers can find open relays why can't the ISPs? Answer, their support desks would have to actually tell the clients how to fix it. If they just use blacklists it's someone else's problem. -- Dave Cotton Directeur Linux Autrement 193 rue Marcel Cerdan 84270 Vedene 04 90 23 30 81 "Internet Sheriff Technology" revendeur en France <http://www.linuxautrement.com> IAX 17004902330
