Bad idea...there are lots of sites out there that block ICMP and that don't have related "www" sites.....

Would a rule that adds points for no pingable web site for a domain be useful? If spam comes in from [EMAIL PROTECTED], could http://www.example.com be tested? If you get a 404 or no response, give the message a couple points. Just an idea, Mike -- Michael Clark, Webmaster
I'll agree with Chris here. There is no validity to this type of rule. It would be like looking up the return address on an envelope in the mail. If you didn't buy a nice looking house and answer your phone on the first ring, I might reject your mail. I see no relevance between a web page facade and sending email. Would you score differently if there was only a "parked" page or a multi-media site 10 levels deep? --Alan P.S. I don't like random ICMP traffic either. Unless you're troubleshooting for me, stay away. Perhaps I'll reject _your_ email for probing pings! How 'bout a rule for that? :)
