Hmm. I've not seen this kind of sender verification. As I know it, the receiving MX connects the regular MX for the sender address to see if *that* is ready to receive mail. Works beautifully if outbound != inbound. While very effective, this is admittedly the kind of spam prevention measure which puts some load on the systems on both ends. cheers -- vbi -- featured product: the KDE desktop - http://kde.org
