For example, hotmail.com, aol.com, and yahoo.com. As soon as those three supprt the tech within their dns, it will be advantageous to support that tech in the email servers we run. The tech will simply be used when a domain supports it, and it will not cut any traffic to domains that do not support it. In addition to slowing spam, this tech will help stop email virus/worms that fake the sender address. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
