Guy, No problem. IT makes me feel good to know that there are people out there who still read. Let alone know what an RFC is!
Thanks for your comments, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum-owner@;list.ipswitch.com] On Behalf Of Guy Isabel Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 5:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] Auto-Reply for List Rules Violations Hi Jeff, Sorry if my post seemed too blunt. I was assuming that you were attempting to use the "MAIL FROM:" envelope field as this is what the RFCs call for (if you read them until you feel an urgent need to go to bed). :) Sandy replied with a much more measured message, downplaying the "need" to get at the "MAIL FROM:" envelope field and putting it in proper perspective as regards what you are doing.
