The amount of SPAM is 10 instead of 100 a day now. I see, but it's not absolutely an effective way to stop spam. Forging the MAIL_FROM SMTP command is the 101 of spamming rules.

It's faster, more effective and you do not have to maintain/sync it. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
