Neither. What I'm looking for is a rubust way to say: "I haven't seen mail from this guy before so I'm going to reject his email with a 450 error code. If email from him tries for delivery after (let's say) four hours, then I will accept it and nevermore will this guy have a delay in sending me mail." It's not a spam identifying technique but it does eliminate about 90% of the spam. The question is, is this worthwhile exploring as adjunct functionality to SA? Yes, I understand that SA does not have any ability to reject mail, much less specify an SMTP error code. Is this clearly out of bounds for what SA should be doing? -- steveo at syslang dot net TMMP1 http://frambors.syslang.net/ Do you have neighbors who are not frambors?
