In fact, they clearly label all the test e-mail they send as being from their testing server. They do try all the same standard tricks on the sender and recipient addresses that junkmailers are known to try, to see if the machine in question might not properly look inside quotes, or mistakenly think that they can trust the claimed envelope sender as opposed to looking at the IP address, etc.... However, this isn't spoofing headers. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
