I think its not that clear cut: according to the article: "Postini's patent describes using a modified DNS address to redirect email to an email pre-processing service". Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think mimedefang does anything involving modifying DNS: it just sits on a legitimate MX record and filters stuff going through. In patent terms I think this makes it a completely different product. cheers john _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
