That is closing the barn after the horse has left...unlikely that we will get two spams from the same address because the sending addresses are usually false. There is a large-scale effort underway to pressure organizations with "open relays" i.e. mail servers that accept outgoing mail from non-members, and it is bearing some fruit. Without the essentially stolen bandwidth and anonymity provided by these relay servers the life of the spammer is more expensive and more difficult (since spamming while legal in the US is against the Terms of Service of practically all service providers). david At 12:32 PM 4/18/2001, Zoltan wrote: >Is it not easier jut to restrict those email addresses that send the stuff?
