Parsing Received headers is always dodgy, because it was never intented to be machine readable. The Right Way[tm] to do this is to tell the MTA to add a header line (X-Sender-IP or something). _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
