Making sure that the message came from you with a "from" address like that, and didn't have a "reply-to" address (specifically with a different one). Checking that a poster's "from" address comes from the same domain as the server isn't a viable thing to do. Only in some cases is it going to match, and it doesn't *have* to in any. If it were, fewer of us would be on this list, we don't all use a mail account from our ISP. The other obvious thing would be to try setting up those sorts of thing from a completely different mail service (the dreaded Hotmail, Yahoo, or another). I rarely use an ISP mail service for another reason: If I want to leave the ISP, because it began to suck or something, I'll lose the address, and lose everything else that got associated with it. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
