I feel the whole justification for returning a 5xx is that it is more accurate (granted its more limited in the information it provides) where as sending notifications is less accurate - look at the hoops Q-S jumps thru to determine if a notification is to be sent. I personally do not have any notifications turned on and have no way of notifying a legitimate sender. I feel that limited information is better than none. -- Ed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click _______________________________________________ Qmail-scanner-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qmail-scanner-general
