The big advantages are: * spammers will end up in jail more easily as it is easier to locate them. * providers that allow spammers to use their services will get a bad reputation (as spammers can't use the domains of the competition of their provider) * virusses can't use the address from a third party in the Outlook address book for the From: header (so social engineering will be a bit more difficult). * emails will be more valued in court. <snip> -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ( http://jabber.tk/ ) _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
