Well, this assumes that you have full control over both ends. In reality you are often confronted with misdesigned "standard" protocols (I'm not even talking about proprietary senders/servers, or boxes outside of your control). So I have to disagree in that I think the feature is useful. Whether or not it is feasible without complicating the codebase unneccessary, I don't know. -- - Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
