Not 6 months in the future, but now. Then you should turn off your MTA and start rejecting port 25 at your firewall. I'll give you a 100% guarantee that if you do so, not a single UCE will make it to your company's inboxes. :-) Okay, that was a bit extreme, but it *does* make my point, which is simply a reframing of the proverb, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." Obviously, your actual priority is to ensure that *all* legitimate mail makes it to your company's inboxes while keeping out as much of the illegitimate mail as possible. The entire stated purpose of the Habeas system is to help with the former, and in so doing ultimately help with the latter. Nels Lindquist <*> ---- Quidquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
