When I say bounce I mean reject. We try not to accept them. But sometimes we end up accepting them and they will "bounce" back. If we warn sender we will often be sending messages to people who have been spoofed (it will always go to the sender's email address). If we warn recipient then they will flood us asking for information about email that has been sent to them. Rejection is fairly popular, but it is a game of hot potato. Someone's smtp server has the message and will need to deal with it. It is bad practice to drop messages in the round file and not tell anyone about it. -- Robert Schmidt -- UNIX Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] MC1021 519-888-4567 x6453 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
