I'm not sure I understand. Are you talking about integrating the MTA into Mailman, so that it can directly access the list of allowed senders for a given mailing list and take appropriate action for other addresses before actually accepting a message? It seems to me that this concept is moving even further towards the "kitchen sink" approach, where one group has to have complete control over all aspects of the system. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
