Tell you what. Visit the SPAM-L mailing list on PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM and post your understanding of the RFCs there. There are administrators from some of the largest mail server operations in the world (AOL, Outblaze, a number of others) that hang out there. I suspect that you will be told, in fairly short order, the same thing I said - don't do it. (That's what they've recommended in the past - and some of the more "rabid" ones hanging out there are the ones that will "block on sight" anyone doing this kind of thing.) I am not (and don't claim to be) an expert in interpretation of the RFCs. But I do hang out on SPAM-L and listen to the "big boys" rant and rave - which usually gets me farther than saying "But the RFCs say *this*, which is not what you said...." - 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]
