Frankly I don't understand why they have their mailservers setup to require reverse DNS. It doesn't kill that many spammers and kills a lot of people who's ISPs don't bother with reverse or are just plain stupid. At least it's caught me and I *DO* have my reverse set right and we see this come up every so often. I would imagine the filtering would do just fine getting rid of the spam without this requirement. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
