some people like it, but i for one think it is not a very good idea - one of those ideas that works just fine when very few people do it - but not when everybody starts doing it. and i think they were a fan of that other overly optimistic antispam scheme - sender callbacks (where they try to send an smtp conection back to the sender's domain, verify that the account exists before allowing the email to) for extra fun see what happens when a callback daemon tries to talk to a server that's doing graylisting ... endless fun ensues (if you have a mailserver that does graylisting, see what mail delivery to verizon.net looks like, for example) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
