Yes, I'm afraid it's something like that. OTOH adding a TXT record to your domain is not a biggie, and this helps your domains to avoid to be victims of forgery when someone sends messages to SPF enabled sites. The other step is to protect your site using SPF, like the above script helps to do. I'm currently giving it a shot on xmailserver. But there's still a long way ahead, since many domains do not use SPF. - Davide - 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]
