Unfortunately, this is a human problem, not a technology problem. There are various "band-aid" approaches, like running the outbound mail through spamassassin and HOLDing the "spammy" mail, however this may or may not catch what you want, since even SpamAssassin has no idea if the user actually wanted the mail or not. I worked for a very large ISP a number of years ago, and they handled the problem with a good legal team and really good contract that specified huge financial penalties for spamming. This actually worked very well, since the customers would either refrain from spamming, or would be terminated, forfeit their hardware and be sued. You might want to do the same, as well as suggest that your customers use an outside mailing-list provider. Terry -- CNY Support, LLC Web. Database. Business http://www.cnysupport.com
