G'day Bruce,

> Zeta is said to be "over spam-rampant and hates us poor dynamic IP folks" :-).

The fix, for the person trying to send the mail, is very easy ... simply
use your real E-mail address in the "From" envelope header.

My host doesn't care whether he uses a dynamic IP address. It cares only
that a resolvable domain name is in the "From" envelope header.

I make no apology for fighting spam. And I make no apology to people who
inject E-mail containing bogus domain names onto the Net.

Nick.
