Wouldn't whitelist_from_rcvd be safer? Then you could use a [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the match FROM and whatever their server is (probably alltel.com) for the RELAY.
Should be simple and mostly safe. I don't imagine their email server relays much spam. Dan -----Original Message----- From: D.J.

I'm assuming that all Alltel users would have the same problem sending to my users. Plus, I'm sure this guy probably has other buddies that want to send to him as well, not just the address that he's giving me right now.
