I fail to see how switching from one method (POP) to another (IMAP) for retrieving mail would resolve a problem that arises with sending mail (SMTP). IMAP requires the user to connect to the server in order to send mail. Not too many properly setup servers will allow non-users to send lots of email from them without cause. Comcast allowing Comcast users to use other email addresses probably isn't a problem since Comcast is authenticating the user, further it's a simple solution to cut off email privileges once a certain number of emails goes out from that user. Spammers can't exist with a limit of let's say 100 per hour. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
