Is not the combination of Relay mail for local users >along with Diable SMTP 'VRFY' command a good one? No. E-mail is a lot like regular mail: You can put any return address on it you want. It's just as easy to put a fake one on as a real one. If you use "Relay mail for local users", all a person has to do is send mail from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and their mail will go out. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com ______________________________________________________________________ The HKSI-IMail Admin List is hosted by........
