It sounded like a bad idea, verifying with [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks Len ... I've always told everyone that English was my second language. LOL Christopher Checca Packard Transport, Inc.

That's kind of and "RFC-ignorant" policy, requiring the @sender.domain's MX to accept postmaster. It's SAV, but with the "sender" always being "postmaster". I've seen similar stupidities. IMGate does SAV probes using MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but the probed MX refuses all mail from postmaster, dumb and RFC-violating, and gave the error text: "postmaster failed to authenticate" which is a really stupid choice of words, as well as totally incorrect description of what's going on, but what do programmers know about English? :) Since they don't accept from any postmaster, our SAV, in turn, refuses all their mail because of their unverified (failed) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Len _____________________________________________________________________ http://IMGate.MEIway.com : free anti-spam gateway, runs on 1000's of sites To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
