But each time I elected to write or stay with "prequeue" instead http://metrg.net/pub/script/prequeue Anyway at the moment, I just want to add "ACCEPT" IPs to my peers cdb. (BTW - this doesn't mean I won't spam filter after SMTP *sigh*). I just took a look at the qpsmtpd SPF plugin, and I may be able to use its call to Mail::SPF::Query as an example to add SPF ACCEPT IPs to my ipsvd config -- even though I never really learned perl. :-\ // George -- George Georgalis, information system scientist <
