Well you are right about the open proxy issue - when I first started seeing these I ran rbl checks and almost every one came from a listed open proxy. What ticked me off was that I was seeing a lot of bounces from AOL, so basically AOL could protect their users simply by using a couple of RBL lists to stop email from open proxies. If the major ISPs simply incorporate open relay/open proxy blocks, then a big part of the spam issue would go away. As to proving where it comes from, I'm just not sure it's worth the effort on an individual basis -- a lot of time & expense involved. That's another thing the big ISP's could do - instead of being lax towards spam, they could use their resources to go after the worst offenders. -Abigail ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
