I remember seeing this mentioned several times on the qmail list. There was some discussion there about a patch that someone created that would compare the sender's domain name against the actual domain name of the mail server from where the mail was sent... and was able to do a reverse lookup of the mail server's IP Address to confirm this. At least that's the way I remember it. Either way, that's something that should be done at the MTA. What Jason is suggesting is different, because a whitelist cannot be checked as easily at the MTA level. So the MTA has to accept the mail and then TMDA can reject it if it's not in the whitelist. This is an interesting topic and I'll be following this thread to see other comments. I'd be interested in seeing what becomes of this. David __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
