What are you sending as your HELO argument? Here are some sample forms: foo foo.example.com (which doesn't resolve) foo123.example.com (which doesn't match the reverse DNS of the server) If it's anything but the last form, he's not breaking the letter of the RFCs. You could argue that it's violating the "be liberal in what you accept" philosophy but that's no worse than you violating the "be conservative in what you send" philosophy. How much that philosophy applies in today's hostile Internet (especially with regard to e-mail) is a question for another day. -- Richard Laager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wikstrom Telecom Internet _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
