I'd settle for a requirement that the return address either be only one hop away in uucp format or in domain format where uunet is the forwarder for the domain. The operator request could still be used in situations where this check fails. How do you feel about requests like checking the directory of the test versions of kermit on watsun.cc.columbia.edu on a weekly basis? Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
