:) while I fully agree that it's impossible to really fix the spam problem within the SMTP protocol, I think that it's almost easy to fix the spam problem if we are prepared to abandon the SMTP protocol. Solution: Just switch exclusively to X.400 email, and be done with spam. :} Ok, now let's be serious, there *must* be a reason why this didn't happen long ago, right? Kind regards, --Toni++
