A common one is "Undisclosed.Recipients@<server name>". I get about 7 of those a day. I'm guessing depending on the mail server if you set it to reject anything sent directly to the server name, it should drop those mails. After all... why would legitimate contacts be sending email to your server name, instead of your domain name? I'd have to experiment with that one on my test network. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60k FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
