Personally I don't see that as a bad thing - it makes it a lot simpler to keep tabs on the spam problem, and since authenticated SMTP and open source webmail systems are so common, I would question why ANYONE would send mail from a foreign domain through a "convenient" SMTP server. In most cases the bounces don't get handled properly, and you never know you misspelled your boss's name! m/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
