Maybe you should? This is his test: if ($ip ne $helo) $ip is *always* of the form ###.###.###.###. $helo can *never* be of that form *if* the connecting machine follows the RFC...it must be either foobar.domain.tld or [###.###.###.###]. So, if everybody followed RFC, that test can never be true, thus it will reject all mail. As you said, it will only reject *almost* all e-mail, because a few machines don't follow RFC. -- Jeff Rife | Sam: What d'ya say to a beer, Normie?
