Lets just say that I have never seen a rejection/error with this when it clearly exceeded 64 characters. Which it does much less often than you'd think. Basically I picked it because it was simple and did NOT include any time based data as in BATV. Similar line of reasoning why our greylisting does not include IP addresses. YMMV etc. Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer ch...@gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Fusion Communications http://www.gol.com/ -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
