I agree with this last point and have added the following blurb to the end of the default confirm_request.txt: If you do not respond to this confirmation request, your message will not be delivered. I hesitate to pontificate further, as I like to keep the default templates as brief and as simple possible. It's my experience that senders tend to tune out automated messages if they are too long and/or wordy. Anyone who has read djb's qsecretary treatise will understand what I'm talking about. The default templates have undergone many revisions, and their wording has been one of the most hotly contested areas of TMDA. This is why I tried to make them so easy to modify, as no one seems to agree on what they should or shouldn't say. That said, I've had good luck with the current templates. Some of the most non-technical users imaginable have been able to understand and complete the challenge/response process. Thanks. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
