I didn't look for what it was at the SMTP level while incoming, but RFC 821 (SMTP) is the transport method, and VGER won't accept unqualified ( + a few more rules ) What you are saying is that RFC 822 level (visible headers) should be controlled for something ? I have a surprise for you, RFC 822 data carries only incidental resemblance with the message content and destination. Like now, you (dwmw2) get this message twice: once from me which means the "From:" might even carry some resemblance to the sender (yes, resemblance, it isn't my login-id, just my email address), the second one comes via the list, and the Majordomo won't change the From: to be linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org which is the real sender in that case... ... and this is completely off topic ... > -- > dwmw2 /Matti Aarnio
