Sadly, nope. SMTP is an unreliable transport. ISPs have no especial obligation to deliver received mail to their addressed users (no matter that those users and we may feel differently). Further, the ISPs won't reveal the filter controls they are using as they don't want the SPAMmers working they're way around them (they also change them regularly as the SPAMmers empirically deduce the values). -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
