In my last post on this subject, I made a mistake.


When I send a mail to a business (etc.) the address to which it was sent
is entered into my passlist, but expires after the receipt of one mail
from that address, to allow for auto-responses. 

Any further mail from that address would have to have the sig with the
long string in it, or it would be gzipped up in my quarantine directory
for 3 days and an auto-response sent out to it. (this has never happened).



Cheerio,


Alan
