Whoa Noel -
he was (is?) running an open relay - no debate there !!

I just chimed in, Noel, to bring up a rather important point
with the way James processes mail. Didn't you write about
this awhile back Noel, how James accpets all and then
applies validation ??

In describing this process to my ISP test lizard, he freaked
which made it clear to me that althouigh it may be a better
model, it operates differently ....
