Allthough, the odds it's spam decreases with the number of addresses at my domain. Right? So this configuration shouldn't cause you a problem. AOL may allow huge numbers of destinations, and presumably their servers can handle it. But if someone tries to dump a message to more than a couple users at any of my personal domains then I know it's spam and will reject it. This limit isn't uncommon, especially with small servers. Any MTA, (especially a bulk-mailer) needs to know how to back off and do single address delivery. Dave On Sat, 11 Mar 2000, Craig Shaver wrote: > Hi, > > Do you mind if I ask why you want to do this?
