No, the MTA should check the keys. That is; if you ever want to reject mail on the basis of them. Mailman can't reject mail without generating collateral SPAM. What would be nice would be a way that Mailman *could* refuse to accept mail from the MTA. You could also configure your MTA to remove the keys. I presume it will want to do that when forwarding mail for any reason. -- Ian Eiloart Servers Team Sussex University ITS _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
