Interesting: although it triggered for the wrong reason, it did trigger appropriately - I do not accept generic rdns. You want to be seen as legit, you need to have fdns==rdns on your mx. Yes, I run extra-tight here, since (a) there's less than 700 users, (b) they are all free accounts, and therefore have to live at *my* tolerance level (it is good to be king :-), and (c) I don't believe email is all that important, and I'd rather toss real mail in error than allow crap in error. Sigh... Thanks for the heads up though :-) //Alif On Wed, 27 Oct 2004, R.A. Hettinga wrote:
