Re: How to deal fakename(_at_)real-domain(_dot_)com mail

2003-02-24 09:08:00

Well the circumstance is that It also has some right addresses eg.
To: rightname1(_at_)rightdomain(_dot_)com another-ok(_at_)rightdomain(_dot_)com 
badname(_at_)rightdoamin(_dot_)com

So in other words there are some valid users that allow it to get through but 
there are also some fake name(s). While I could imagine there may be some 
instances where this could be an email that is friendly I have never received 
one. We are willing to live with the loss of this mail.

Thank you for your question. Its always good to get things clear.

I guess I'm wondering why the MTA is letting this mail in the first
place. Can you elaborate a little on what your circumstances are?
