Actually I would prefer that we consider hacking smtp to have it perform a verify on the incoming mail's origin and reject any attempted connections where that host is not reachable. I tire fast of the mail from make.lots.of.money@just.send.me.ten.dollars Basically if I would not be able to reply to a mail sendmail would not deliver it. Yes, some mail is rejected if a host goes down at precisely the wrong instant but that would be uncommon. Peter
