No, you could subscribe the address you post from to the "white list". Smartlist then would check that the From: is subscribed to the list you are posting OR subscribed to the white list before accepting the message. Unless you change ISP several times a week, this would not be a problem for you, Manoj. More to the point: When Bruce was the Project Leader, there was a procedure to validate every email address using cookies. You had only to answer the cookie once for every different From: you want to use. This procedure worked very well, it didn't require any moderators, it was 100% effective against spam, and it was never a big problem for legitimate users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
