AOL knows the pain of spam. There is a remote chance they might actually do it. And if AOL could be convinced to do this, it might actually get some attention at AT&T. ITMT: If the mail bounces are addressed to a specific [email protected], then set up an autoresponder on that address that sends a reply back that explains that the address is a forgery, giving the 800 number for AT&T support. Play tough with AOL since it is they who actually in a position to stop the flood. Imagine if AOL were to use RBL. -- -- *-----------------------------* Phil Howard KA9WGN * -- -- | Inturnet, Inc. | Director of Internet Services | -- -- | Business Internet Solutions | eng at intur.net | -- -- *-----------------------------* philh at intur.net * --
