Well you could try adding this into your rules.ima file

F~(<>|<ok>):NUL

would dump any void senders or those whom use OK for there return.

Oh yea.. earlier post stated something to the effect to place a check mark
into the 'refuse <> null senders' block.  Some folks don't like this, I
agree, for compliance..

Subject: [IMail Forum] HELO and SMTP


I read an article that some spam program's do not send a HELO or EHLO when
they send out spam e-mails.  The following outake came from and article in
Security Focus on hints to block spammer's:

"Some spam software does not send a HELO, and by using this option you may
successfully block such bone-headed software."

The following is the link to this article:

Thanks for all your advise,

J.R.


Do you have an example of what you are trying to eliminate. I can't see
IMail accepting any kind of email conversation other than HELO or EHLO on
the SMTP port
