Hi all. I'd be interested to hear opinions on the following. I have noticed a particular site that automatically initiates a reverse traceroute when mail is delivered to it's primary MX machine. * Is this common? I've not seen it before. * Would you consider it a hostile action? * Does it break any RFCs / accepted good practices? I certainly didn't think it was very polite! Thanks, Pete. --------------------------------------------------------------- | Pete Philips \|/ | | Integralis S3 Team O | | E-mail: pete.philips () integralis co uk | | Phone: +44 118 930 6060 | | PGP Key: http://www.s3.integralis.co.uk/pgp/pete.pgp | ---------------------------------------------------------------
