This assumes that: a) The user in question knows about and understand SPF, and why it didn't work and b) knows and understands email, and that the bounce they just received was not because our mail servers were broken or we run a shoddy service. c) noone checks their spam traps. If neither A or B are true, then you risk a lost potential client. (This, of course, assumes you are not dealing with 100% technically savy client base) If C is true, thats more of a responsibility issue. -- Brenden Conte System Programmer, C&CT Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (518)276-2540 _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
