There's just too many mail servers out there (legitimate ones) for this to be even remotely feasible. Systems like SPF are on the right tracks but it's still not a very elegant solution. My vote is still for some kind of public key authentication built around already existing protocols (TLS for example). The free e-mail providers would be number one on my list to implement this! It'd still be a lot of work and require total cooperation from the Internet community, however. Of course, if I knew a total solution that'd please everyone I wouldn't be sitting here writing this. I'd be sitting on my private Island in the South Pacific sipping cocktails :-) Chris - -- Chris Horry KG4TSM "You're original, with your own path [email protected] You're original, got your own way" PGP: DSA/2B4C654E -- Leftfield -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFA2uFTnAAeGCtMZU4RAkB0AJ9Hg8Y/zK4KO7kBqqHyYrIMYqXlrACfbwnC owpXEEltr3LD7hdhEcMeitY= =G1Fw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
