call-forwards (which I hope is the case here) are great, as long as they're cached (which exim does). We do all want to avoid backscatter, I hope :) I think the Rotating SMTP Outgoing IP addresses is a bad idea. You should already be using parallel sessions, so the pipe is nearly full, I'd hope. If you can shove additional items over the same session, that helps too (though I don't know exim's specifics in this area). You want to rotate IPs, send from multiple physical hosts. Trying to make smtp into IM is silly, imho. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lugo [EMAIL PROTECTED] LC Unit #260 TINLC Have you hugged your firewall today?
