Yes, we have the same problem. Unfortunately, DCC's behavior in these cases is mysterious to users because they don't consider the messages to be spam, or even bulk mail, and don't understand why they get rejected. It's partly an issue of `invisible content'. Users never see all of the MIME and HTML goo in an e-mail message. Some form of checksumming could ignore this as well, and perhaps it already does. That way, completely empty messages could be given special treatment. Alternatively, is there something in the invisible portion of these troublesome messages that could be used to identify them and exclude them from DCC rejection? Otherwise, we would need some automated procedure to detect these messages and whitelist them by their conventional checksums. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking- _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
