Personally, I don't think there's much legitimate reason for anyone to ever send a "sendsys" these days. Maybe it can be profitably used by coordinators of some local and regional hierarchies, to get propagation stats, but I would not think there'd be much else it could legitimately used for. With that in mind, I added the following line to my INN "control.ctl" file, after the first day when I saw 600 or so sendsys requests pop up in my mailbox: sendsys:*:*:drop There - problem gone. --Pat.
