Right, exactly, it's possible that someone's attempt at spam can become an out of control operational problem when thousands of mail msgs are looping uncontrollably and non-stop for 48+ hours. That's all, that's what happened, the guy crossed a line from simple spamming to obviously out of control behavior. What's the rationale, that he likes to get thousands of mail bounces? That this is his business? I brought this here precisely because it had become, in my opinion, an operational problem and had ceased to be a simple spam, and Sprint was being non-responsive AS A MATTER OF POLICY. That's a problem. Ya know, folks, this isn't the only spam I've ever encountered, believe it or not. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | http://www.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989
