[snip] > If this was too much information, my apologies > So, bottom line, either they are running an open relay (since we can 'be assured that it did not originate with Google'), or they lie. I guess with a company the size of Google, we will be forced to eat our spam and love it. Reminds me of he droidbot responses I got from yahoo with DKIM signed email originating with yahoo telling me that the email didn't come from yahoo. Too bad yahoo and google are too high and mighty to actually care about spam complaints. (anyone here been on the net long enough to remember the 'bimbo' usenet spams? What was the name of that big famous company that refused to deal with them? Sorry, I don't remember, they aren't around anymore) -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBsd SpamAssassin Ports maintainer Charter member, ICSA labs anti-spam consortium _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(tm).
