Consider redirected mailboxes etc. Depending of the way the encountered MTA's function the receipt confirmations can get sent multiple times. Apart from that, confirmation of receipt by an mta is also confirmation that the used e-mail address is valid. So down the drain with the option of not responding to spam in order not to validate the address. Everything that validates my address without that validation being initiated by me is a privacy issue. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
