From: is a header field that has no bearing on the received: headers. I would have to disagree with this statement entirely, no spam techniques that I have heard of could ever block based on the from not matching the received hostname. Any virtual hosted email server will have a hostname, generally that of the MX record, however, they may have 1000's or more domains hosted on that machine, all using different domains for their from address. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- 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/>
