However, when I say "they are going to have to make it possible, not me" I include in that statement having their anti-spam system set up correctly to facilitate it. A TMDA system that is properly set up would be undetectable to recipients of such messages, and so should not be causing any issues. Unfortunately, there are quite a few people out their with incorrectly configured systems who do send out challenges to correspondents replying to a first approach. This is the problem that people here are objecting to, not TMDA in general. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
