Making sure that the sender is a valid email address. AGIS is looking for viable solutions to the overall problem. We have moved any customers that we receive UBE complaints into AS 3830 (which is getting emptier), making them even more visible. This assists in blocking SPAM domains at the router level. For those using the Vixie like approaches, this works. Notwithstanding, this thread focuses on the threat of such efforts. Phil Lawlor President AGIS Voice - 313-730-1130 Fax - 313-563-6119
