You want to keep a list of valid accounts on the secondary so you can refuse mail for non-existing accounts on the secondary too. If you don't care about yourself -- relize that if, say, all of these mails have a return address forged from the same domain, you will be DOSing THAT site with the bounce messages. This is enough for some people to block mail from you. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- chris () westnet com -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
