It's not perfect, but it provides you with a way to test your setup, and see if you're accepting anything that you shouldn't. Also, not accepting mails for invalid local_parts is a very good idea - the only thing that you get by accepting it is spam and virii, and unless you're building a collection, I don't see a pressing need for that. :) HTH, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | "In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes | | steve@lobefin.net | to be saved." -- Butler | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
