How about the CGI business as a solution? You can do that without exposing the address and while doing due diligence on constraining abuse. ObNote: Apple runs a large enough mail ship that its an attractive target in and of itself should you do an automated system like this. *THAT* is painful as you can't insert enough entropy into the UI behavior without becoming either mappable or unusable -- which basically means you end up doing something like a TMDA filter which holds the message for the final recipient for a week or so...which makes havoc of your storage and bandwidth budgets... -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
