Not sure I've ever seen a MUA other than 'telnet' which allows you to set the MAIL FROM smtp header. Actually, I gues some MUAs might do that if you're using SMTP auth, they might use the SMTP auth name as the MAIL FROM, but I bet they don't. TVD> that people are spamming.

I also used to always turn off the "opt in" checkbox on everything, but *still* managed to somehow get shitloads of spam and "you opted in by giving us your address" mail. That's why I now use SpamAssassin. C _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors. We supply the hardware.
