Thank you. That's all I been saying.
Remember think!
connect ---> validate
helo/eho --> validate
mail from --> validate

Ok, I think we'll all be waiting for his document very eagerly.
Hopefully he can provide a status update and perhaps let us know if he
needs more help.
Have you seen my stats and analysis? Do you have any questions about it?
My only concerns with the stats is that there is really no sure way to
find out if any legimitate email was rejected through your process since
you do not actually possess the actual piece of email.
