No. But if they *do* force you to do this, the only valid spot to do it is during the SMTP transaction; any time after this will use incorrect header information and mail bomb an innocent party due to forged headers. However if you send back a 550 reply code after the SMTP DATA, this will at least be sent back to the spammer. They do not pay any attention to it though. :( --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
