Hi Dennis,

On 2024-11-04 18:51:08, you wrote to me:

 JH>>> if ( length($area) == 0 && uc($toname) eq "PING" && uc($fromname)
 JH>>> ne "PING" )

 WV>> If I read that correctly... There is a use case to allow the from name
 WV>> in the received message to be "PING" !

 WV>> Just make the from name in the reply not "PING" otherwise messages
 WV>> could keep bouncing back and forth...

 DS>  I think the line prevents that.

And I think that is not necessary, was the point I was trying to maken.

 DS> My system will not send a reply to your system if your name is ping,
 DS> the mail is than sitting in my netmail area ..

 DS>  you can always try (and you will probably) ;)

I believe you. ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
