This whole thing is an HTTP transaction. What XMail will se is this : HELO blahblah MAIL FROM: <some_email_address> RCPT TO: <your_email_address> DATA Subject: Viagra ..... .... How will it be able to know that it comes from a proxy ? - 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]
