Given that nearly all of the current viruses use their own internal SMTP engines to send directly, a 550 will just kill the virus. It will only harrass an innocent third party if the infected email is relayed through a normal mail server. Under that situation, I do not feel guilty about that person because I am not generating the mail, all I am doing is refusing to accept delivery of it. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
