Quite simply: much spam now forges genuine e-mail addresses and most spam forges genuine domain names. This means that every challenge that you send out is wasting somebody else's time and adding to the load they already see from spam, viruses and collateral spam (http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/email/collateral.html). There are plenty of good anti-spam tools that don't have any adverse affect on other people. Use them, not this lazy-ass, inconsiderate tool. -- Bruce I am now a little wary of bananas. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
