Besides, I don't think sendmail would need to be 'enhanced' - I think you'd only need to figure out how to configure it to respond properly. If it wasn't, that would be a huge reason not to use it and just use postfix (the only reason I can think of that anyone in their right mind would use sendmail when postfix is available is simply that they grew up on it and were comfortable with it)... > ASSP is already doing a lot of things that don't even have > anything to do with fighting Spam (Charset conversion). So? That doesn't change the fact that there's a right way and wrong way to do things wrt recipient validation... -- Best regards, Charles |
