I don't think that's what Ian is saying. The key word is 'selectively'. I.e. the SMTP server can still reject the incoming message, but once it has seen the DATA, it can only reject the entire message; it can't reject a subset of RCPTs. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
