Ok ok. I'll change Imail. I'm looking in the advanced smtp and I can't see anything specifically related to <> senders. Any idea where it is? I know, I know, RTFM!

Well, if you want no trouble, just disconnect the ethernet cable. :) The RFCs require that you accept bounce messages and other automated messages using "<>" as the return address; only a very, very small percentage of illegitimate mail uses that, and if you block them, you get listed in a spam database (http://www.rfc-ignorant.org)! It causes other admins to do your work for you, which they really don't like. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
