You would only deal with your own local side lists, not others and that will scale just fine. The only thing is that it may be two separate applications (SMTP and MLS) so interfacing them would be an implementation question. Generally, an accept or forwarding file is used. -- Hector Santos, CTO http://www.santronics.com http://santronics.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
