Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Mailfrom?

[Matt]

Kami, If you start mixing different tests for MAILFROM, then you run the risk of weakening the test.  While this was spam, I could see a user making a mistake like this by putting information in the wrong fields.  You have Web forms, just take a look at what the typical bonehead AOL user "thinks" their E-mail address is. Maybe a different test would be better, though, maybe this is just as reliable as the existing MAILFROM tests...but I doubt it. Matt Kami Razvan wrote: Hi Scott: Thanks ... A while back I was suggesting a simple test that can at least validate the format of the sender email. This is a perfect example.. This email is not valid and although it failed a lot of other tests but it should also be easy to add more weight to wrong addresses. Of course if there is an RFC addendum that says "ben."@aol.com is a valid email then my argument is totally off base.

No. look at the email used: X-Note: SMTP Sender: "ben."@aol.com aol.com is a valid domain with an MX record, so it passes the MAILFROM test. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
