Clearly, Bryan recognizes these folks. In general, however, I would caution you to always check the IP address in the Received: header with Whois before you "deny" a domain name. The domain name can be forged, but the IP address in the Received: header that includes your e-mail address is the only part of an e-mail header that cannot be forged. If the domain name is forged, then denying it won't stop that particular problem. You would have to deny the IP address. deedee Registered Linux User #327485 Visit "WordStar & GNU/Linux" http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see the WordStar Users Group http://cbabbage.wordstar2.com -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10
