* This is the vopmailbeta mailing list *
I am a web hosting company. I am not an ISP. Email is provided as a service related to your website. This means your emails are related to your domain name only. When you send post mail, you don't use someone else's address as the return address. The whole idea of the feature I want is to find out who the spammer was... so that I can do something about them. I can't do anything if I don't know who they are. Spammers can spoil my service. If a spammer makes my mail server put on some rbl, he affected the mail service of the rest of my customers. I can't afford losing customers because of a bad one.
