The host, pair.com, did not find this acceptable and I lost a week of mail while on vacation. I've since written a maildrop script which uses the same pre-cdb to-file/from-files as tmda. maildrop runs first in my .qmail files and tmda next as needed. The biggest problem was/is mail sent to entirely bogus addresses. Time will tell if the host finds this new solution acceptable. -- kai _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
