I find it rejects *loads* of spam.
Yep. Rejecting all-nonexistant addresses at the RCPT stage is probably the most effective single measure for reducing unwanted email traffic (But I consider that "best practice" anyway, and not specifically as an anti-spam measure). > Is it ok to grab a copy of this ?

Yep, there are only plugins from Hanno and me in the contrib directory, which I find sad. I offer to be the "human proxy" to the contrib directory. If you want to contribute any plugins, just send them to me and I will check them in. I'm a bit swamped in real work right now, and that situation probably won't get any better in the next few months, but I should be able to respond within a week or so. hp -- _ | Peter J.
