I understand, which is why I suggested a configuration option rather than hardwiring the TLDs to skip into the code. We exchange a lot of mail with folks in these domains, so there is likely to be an upside in not having to look up any .gov or .mil addresses that appear in the message. And if we do get spam advertising .gov or .mil web addresses, there's something very wrong going on and we can report it. Most other email admins won't see the same tradeoffs. By the way, if you have a message that's been forwarded in such a way that the original recipient addresses become part of the message text, the URI extraction code will extract these too. Therefore, if you get one of those "forward this to everyone you know" messages, it could result in a lot of SURBL lookups. >From Thu Dec 9 11:17:29 2004 Return-Path: <> Received: from emroute1.cind.ornl.gov (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by emroute1.cind.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-X27 #30899) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ORCPT [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Thu, 09 Dec 2004 11:17:29 -0500 (EST) Received: from www2.ornl.gov (www2.ornl.gov [160.91.4.32]) by emroute1.cind.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-X27 #30899) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ORCPT [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Thu, 09 Dec 2004 11:17:12 -0500 (EST) Received: from PROCESS-DAEMON.www2.ornl.gov by www2.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-1 #31038) id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 09 Dec 2004 11:05:14 -0500 (EST) Received: from www2.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-1 #31038) id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:12:34 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:12:34 -0500 (EST) From: PMDF Internet Messaging <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Successful page transmission In-reply-to: "Your message dated Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:11:56 -0500 (EST)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: multipart/report; boundary="Boundary_(ID_Z1dAJ1KMtcGZAOKBpgNNIg)"; report-type=delivery-status --Boundary_(ID_Z1dAJ1KMtcGZAOKBpgNNIg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-language: EN-US Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT This report relates to a message you sent with the following header fields: Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:11:56 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test Your message has been successfully delivered to the following recipients: Recipient address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reason: Transmission of your pages has been completed: delivered in 1 part Subject: test 2 transmission attempts were made The content of the pages follow. ---------------------------------------------------- F:root S:test M:Testing paging on www2 ---------------------------------------------------- --Boundary_(ID_Z1dAJ1KMtcGZAOKBpgNNIg) Content-type: message/delivery-status Reporting-MTA: dns;www2.ornl.gov (cingularpage.ornl.gov) Action: delivered Status: 2.1.5 (Transmission of your pages has been completed: delivered in 1 part) Original-recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Final-recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] --Boundary_(ID_Z1dAJ1KMtcGZAOKBpgNNIg) Content-type: TEXT/RFC822-HEADERS Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from cingularpage.ornl.gov by www2.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-1 #31038) id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 9 Dec 2004 10:12:34 -0500 (EST) Received: from emroute1.cind.ornl.gov (smtp.ornl.gov [160.91.4.119]) by www2.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-1 #31038) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:11:57 -0500 (EST) Received: from emroute1.cind.ornl.gov by emroute1.cind.ornl.gov (PMDF V6.2-X27 #30899) id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:11:56 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 10:11:56 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN Content-transfer-encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE --Boundary_(ID_Z1dAJ1KMtcGZAOKBpgNNIg)--
