Hmm. my mutt setup appears to be b0rken then. sorry about that. need to look that. > I don't want my bounces to go to the wrong place.

So then use a envelope-from from a domain you trust? You said that you use a specific relay to relay your mail already, so you could setup your domain (raw.no) so that only that specific IP is allowed to send mail to the world using raw.no domain? You can still put your university address in the "From: " field like you do right now. > | Second hint: If you insist on your right to forge your email address, > | anyone else can forge your address as well.

It's like forging > your own signature, something which is, by definition not possible: To quote dark: A bad analogy is like an leaky screwdriver. If you have two IP's, one at home ISP and another at work, and you send packets from your home IP using the work IP, you are forging the sender IP, even if you happen to be affiliated with both IP's. > No, I can't.

And you don't need to, unless you want to send your bounces to your university or debian servers. Why would you want to do that? One could also argue, that since the university/debian owns the domain, they can setup whatever policy they want on what IP's can send mail in the name of their domain. Lots of opposers seem to assume that domain owners will immediately apply an policy that will force senders to use their mail relays for outgoing mail, without consulting their users first. > | The antipathy against the a POSSIBILITY of a domain owner to restrict > | sending mail in name of his own domain to few IP's is what is silly, > | not the proposal... > It's the wrong solution. And what is the right solution? One that even the blondes using hotmail can use? Just accept it as fact of life that viruses and spam use every now and then your domains? -- Riku Voipio | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | kirkkonummentie 33 | +358 40 8476974 --+-- 02140 Espoo | | dark> A bad analogy is like leaky screwdriver |
