I hadn't intended to initiate such a wide-ranging discussion. I WOULD like to be able to 'serve off' anonymous servers for a SPECIFIC list (at the moment, it's EVERY list on a host or known). Sure, it's not possible to prevent ALL anonymous mail, but my impression is that those clever enough to disguise or forge mail on their own generally have better things (sometimes worse, too I suppose) to do with their talent than make mischief on lists. Cutting off anonymous servers probably will take care of 90+ percent of those who merely have warped minds and too much time on their hands. /s Murph Sewall <[log in to unmask]>
