Ok, was away will try to catch up. The company of scumbags i was talking about is http://blackboxhosting.com/, as you might have guessed i dont like these scum and have nothing to do with them.
Even if the program generates random addresses as a lot of spammers do mailwasher has no problem catching it... it has its own algothram for spam and also uses other databases like SpamCop to "blacklist" spam because as everyone knows forging headers is not a big deal at all and even someone who is a few days old in any language even below C can do that...php just makes it easier. I just wanted to say that I am using the program and have no regrets for purchasing it...but you dont have to as they are giving a free trial 1 month copy. Dont knock something till you try it.
