I'll have to see if I can get away with that. I'm not that concerned with the bandwidth. Much of the spam comes in over night when our BFPs (Big Fat Pipes) are idle. > As a means of avoiding stream_by_domain, it's a good idea. That's what I want to do. I hate the idea of accepting mail and then remailing it and creating the bounce if it is spam. I'd much rather issue the tempfail to someone else's server. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
