This will always be a problem with challenge-response systems, they're a major nuisance around mailing lists. I recently moved a list onto a new host, it would've been a smooth transition except for about 30 challenge response users which didn't like it and had to be kicked off the list. If it's a reasonably well written system you won't see another response straight away, it will probably wait a few days for the first one to expire before sending another. Challenge-response isn't just a nuisance, it's worse, it's spam. Anyone using C/R is stealing your resources to cure their spam problem in the same way that spammers steal your resources to cure their advertising problem. </rant> You found one of my pet hates, I couldn't resist :) -- Yorkshire Dave Custom rule generator for SpamAssassin. http://www.wot.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/detoken.pl top-posters will be tarred and feathered! -- Scanned by MailScanner at wot.no-ip.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
