Re: [cobalt-users] TMDA

Hi Dan,
Hmm, this is unfortunate, so what this means is that TMDA is in effect another
spammer. All of the spam that I have gotten has used non-existant return
addresses. The fact that a spammer can use someones return address had not
occurred to me. I guess I will have to re-think this and come up with an
approach that can control the spam with out the risk of some one whose return
address that was forged getting unwanted mail. Thanks for the advice.
