ARF is a variation on the previously existing MIME Multipart/Report format, so you can also look at any MIME generation tools which play well with exmh. Email::ARF is on CPAN and a link to MIME::ARF can be found here: http://wordtothewise.com/resources/arfdeveloper.html John Levine, a long-time FreeBSD user and Internet mail guru, was one of the developers who helped work it through the IETF, so I did some searches on his site (Google search on: "arf site:jl.ly" but don't find anything specifically about tools. However, I can also inform you that that even if you submit a properly formatted ARF report, a good fraction of the time Yahoo! may still bounce it indicating that you must submit an ARF report. I have seen a number of reports of that. Outsourcing, I'm sure. (They also have been known to firmly claim that a number of Yahoo's mail outbounds are not their servers.) AOL will actually process ARF messages and so will some other major providers, so it's still worth doing. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services
