Sorry, that should be clarified by "About 95% of the public spam database usage is IP-based" or something like that. Yes, there are a number of tests that can be (and are) run on the E-mail address, but there are few spam databases that use the return address. http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm includes the tests that are not IP-based, but they are not commonly used to block spam. Declude JunkMail will also run a number of internal spam tests that use the return address, but in those cases, they are problems that most people don't have to worry about (unless you run a domain like "public.com" that spammers like to use, or you have DNS issues). -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
