Maybe but like it or not there are a lot of sites that will reject mail from dialup mail servers. A large percentage of this type of mail is spam. Most of my current crop of spam is from addresses that clain to be @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, @msn.com, etc. but looking at the headers you can see that they came from dialup accts and never once touched the mail servers of the actual domain they claim to be from. I just got done configuring postfix to reject mail that claims to be from the above domains but does not come from their servers. I think this is a better way of rejecting spam without just dumping mail from dialups. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with me. It will be interesting to see how well this works. -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting .... -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
