RE: [SAtalk] Useful to compare sender domain with relay?

I know you can do this with postfix, i wouldn't do it for all domains as it would cause way too many problems IMHO, but it may be worth testing on frequently forged domains like aol, yahoo, msn etc.. regards, Paul -Original Message- From: Scott Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:
