It wouldn't be difficult. But in your case (and mine, with receivers in front of ims) spam trap is not worth bothering with. The point of it is to temporarily ban ip addresses from sending more spam to your server. With the gateways, that address is not able to be determined without receiving the entire message first. So the benefit you get from banning the IP is negated by having to receive the message in entirety anyway. klint. +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ : Klint Gore : "Non rhyming : : EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : slang - the : : Snail : A.B.R.I. : possibilities : : Mail University of New England : are useless" : : Armidale NSW 2351 Australia : L.J.J. : : Fax : +61 2 6772 5376 : : +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ This is the discussion list for the IMS Free email server software.
