Given that rfc-ignorant lists *.uk for not having contact info, would you like to refine that to `shite idea'? > Some of the other blacklists at rfc-ignorant.org are nice as well.

Not everyone always uses a personal domain for their mail... More to the point, spamassassin already contains a test for MX records for the From: field; I like that one. ~Tim -- <http://spodzone.org.uk/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
