Re: Mail receipt upon delivery.
Is it possible for qmail to send acks back to the sender upon reception of the mail message? I have heard something about qreceipt but I can't find any pointers leading to that. Read the man page on qreceipt - the two lines below should be fine in your .qmail file (assuming you use Maildir format). /Maildir/ |/var/qmail/bin/qreceipt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bo - Bo Fussing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gateway Internet Ltd.

(This is Solaris/SPARC, if it matters.) Apparently Solaris/SPARC is the main development platform for Oracle (at least two years ago) so it does not get any better (worse?) than that. Perhaps this is one of the reasons they are rolling out a Linux version of Oracle 8. Bo - Bo Fussing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gateway Internet Ltd.

RE: Three solutions for spam
Rask Ingemann Lambertsen writes: Most other anti-spam measures have a technical foundation. Invalid domain, header field syntax error, no or incorrect reverse DNS, etc. Blocking dialups doesn't. IMHO, it comes dangerously close to racism. The term is "prejudice", not racism. Race isn't a factor here. And it's a reasonable prejudice, since all of the non-relayed spam I get comes from dialups. Not all prejudice is bad. I agree 100% with Russel, here in Hong Kong the HK ISP Association is about to begin an innitiative for our members to block outgoing port 25 connections from modem pools. As for the prejudice against users - I think this is a non-issue since people accessing the Internet have absolutely no need to use third party mail relays. If they don't trust our systems (all qmail!) then they are free to go elsewhere. Considering the amount of Hong Kong generated SPAM (most of it from dial-up users) that we might be able to eliminate I hope we can implement this scheme soon.
