Not currently. I think you might be the first person who has ever requested this of TMDA. > "Your message has been returned to you because you have not confirmed > your address.

Please resend your > original message" Think carefully about what you are asking of a new sender who wants to communicate with you: - They have to send you 3 messages (the original, the ack, and the resend). - They might not save outgoing messages, which means they'll either have to re-compose, or cut and paste from the TMDA challenge (which preserves their original).

Disk is dirt cheap these days. Text incurs very little storage. I receive a great deal of spam and use the default timeout interval of 14 days, and my pending queue consumes only ~6MB of disk space. If you receive less spam, and lower the timeout interval, you'll use even less. In general, TMDA sacrifices network resources for sender convenience because computational resources are abundant, and humans are fickle. Otherwise, we might as well do everything at the SMTP level. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
