Using autoresponders to do your mailbombing has a long and dishonourable history. > Coding the autoresponder to not send more than N notifications per week, day, > whatever, to the same address would also be trivial. I'm not sure if you meant "x" responses per day, regardless of the number of times messages it receives triggers it, or "x" per address per time period. Whilst both types of checks can be implemented, with the former there will be messages that the autoresponder could have handled, but did not, due tot he "x" limit. > If the one you describe is the only scenario, the autoresponder would > _diminish_ its negative effects. Mike described the most common method of mailbombing somebody by using an autoresponder. Other scenarios are more damaging to the victim. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
