Dale,
Can we accurately due this without have one of us read over the rejects
to be sure we haven't blocked a real message? I'm just worried that
because different mail programs tag inline quotes differently, we will
run into trouble. I guess we could have the server build up a massive
database of everything posted for the last two weeks, and then compare
incoming posts to it. When more than a certain percentage of the new
post duplicates a block of text already in the database, the new post is
returned to the user. Of course, we could also build a PIC controlled
rocket to fly everyone to the moon. BTW I will try to look into the no
body message rejection thing too.

:)
