Doing this in online SMTP is impossible. The step that goes from the SMTP session to the message delivery is definitely not atomic. It'd be possible to reject the message at mailbox delivery time, by sending a notification message to the sender. Considering everything, I think this is going to stay as is. - 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]
