Yes, if you can set it up so that your list command addresses pass through EIMS instead of going directly to LetterRip. You'll need to set up addresses in EIMS for all of the accounts in LRP that should be receiving mail - you know, listname-on, listname-off, your commands address, all of that. Assuming for example's sake that your lists are running from "lists.nothingness.org", you'd follow the instructions available on the Interwebs to change LetterRip to listen on a different SMTP port than 25, such as (for example) 26. You'd then set up EIMS to receive mail for "lists.nothingness.org" and add a mail route so that mail for "lists.nothingness.org" got routed to "lists.nothingness.org:26". Add a separate firewall rule somewhere (if you like) to make sure that nothing but EIMS can reach LRP on port 26, and bingo - all of LRP's incoming E-mail is now being filtered through EIMS. This page and similar ones have more details: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02452 .html>. Google is your friend here, as is the LRP manual. Theoretically, to get up and running faster, you could set EIMS to allow mail to unknown accounts and forward it *all* to LRP, but you'll get real SMTP errors if you set up real EIMS accounts/aliases for each address that should be allowed to receive mail and let EIMS give the SMTP "unknown user" error for everything else. But before EIMS routes the message to LRP on port 26, it has to get through graylisting, any STF or CounterAgent spam filtering, and so on. If you can block it using EIMS, you can keep it from getting to LRP this way, and that may be your best immediate way of getting control over LRP's inbox. If a spammer gets through, though, LRP will still echo the original message in its response, so it's no panacea - just triage. --Matt -- Matt Deatherage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GCSF, Incorporated <http://www.macjournals.com> "I write to discover what I think.
