Just for the sake of an extra giggle (if you knew what my day had been like so far today, you'd appreciate that need in me), two points: <1> Your host doesn't exist: | [137] [3:35pm] giza:/n/giza/0/karl> host -a hades.OZ. | Host not found. Oh, you meant hades.oz.au? OH! That's _different_...too bad your From: line is bogus...but I suppose no one should ever rewrite it to a canonical form. <2> _Trust_me_, postmasters get Really Well Encouraged to fix their mailers when one of my users gets mail from such a place, complains to me about why they can't reply, and I find out who the originating/offending site is, especially when I cite chapter and verse of 822 at the offending postmaster. --karl
