that would be the best approach but it would make all the spam to be able to come up to the desktop. maybe we will start getting all the spam as zipped attachments... how about the smtp server simply rejecting mail from spoofed hosts ? as all the viruses generate spoofed hosts and it is very easy for any smtp server to do a dns lookup on the sending server, if the hostname / ip address do not match reject the message. ________________________________________________________________________ Delivered using the Free Personal Edition of Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
