In my experience, the volume has been very small, just a few every month or two. There used to be viruses that sent fake bounce messages, but they never seemed to use an empty envelope sender. The original question is answered in the FAQ, at: http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=all#5.4 If this is no longer considered best practice, then somebody should probably revise the "Example Incoming Filter" on the http://tmda.net/config-filter.html page, on which I based my initial incoming filter. -- Bob _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([email protected]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers
