the admin should be notified about that problem. abuse address should usually go to 'all_spam_to' lists, but there's possibility that spammerfs start Cc:ing abuse@ to get spam through. The advise I've seen (iirc it was in rfc-ignorant lists) was not to allow send the mail to abuse and non-abuse mailboxes together, e.g. when it's sent to abuse mailbox, reject rcpt to:non-abuse mailboxes with temporary error and vice versa. The result should be, once the mail will be sent to all non-abuse mailboxes, once to abuse mailboxes, and they can be filtered with different rules. However, I don't know about any possibility to implement such tests in my sendmail or any other MTA. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
