Yeah, that's as braindead as the "callback verification", but more intrusive. However, if it is endemic, one may counter it with a maildrop recipe that invokes curl to pay that visit.

As a more complicate alternative, the above recipe could reply with a challenge similar to the one received, inviting the recipient to visit a web page that will in turn redirect to the link provided by the original challenge... That would result in an opportunity to inform users on the drawbacks of the solution that their ISP provide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
