I think this statement was misunderstood, because it is ambiguous. I hope you mean that if the reverse DNS entry for the sending IP address ends in wellsfargo.com then you'll whitelist the address. If so, then this could be a reasonable heuristic for automatic reputation building based on sender IP address - not a bad thing. If you meant something else by "the host ends in wellsfargo.com", then there's a problem. I'm not sure what else you could mean by "host", though. Martin's reply is irrelevant if I'm correct, because he didn't send from a host with a name ending in wellsfargo.com - he just forged an email address in that domain. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148 -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
