we mis-communicate i believe. i suggested that you include the url in the smtp error message you send when you reject the initial email. then you do not generate any backscatter spam. however, it does require that the origin MTA send the text of the message back to the sender. my basic rule is this- never accept mail you do not intend to deliver. allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
