It does fail to recognize that ISP's, and especially Hosting Providers, often have people using their email from work or, in the case of personal domains, from another service provider, which means their test messages from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be from a foreign IP. But as a weighted test it would still be very useful since the message shouldn't fail any other tests under normal conditions.

Automatic after you enter the IP ranges, and if the IP ranges don't change. :) The "non-automatic" part is that the test would have to be disabled by default, and people wanting to use it would need to add the list of IPs. However, it could be set up to automatically allow the E-mail if it came from an internal IP address (which would satisfy the needs of a lot of our customers). >Now for testing from the Internet I would log on to >Hotmail and send from me@hotmail to me@myaddress. This e-mail would pass >for the return address and the recipient's address do not match. Good point. :) This test is something that we are still looking into. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
