What I forgot to write was that I haven't had enough time to really "evaluate the nature of DCC" (not sure how to put it), so what I wrote was more thoughts than what I considered "facts". The problem is that if you're trying to apply DCC to a situation where the end-user isn't aware of what is being used and why, then the crucial white- list part isn't available; and based on the fact that the average user is an idiot it can't easily be added (not unless you don't mind long support-sessions via e-mail every time a user suspects he's not getting enough e-mails, and every time a user isn't getting enough e-mails). In a situation like that you can't add all checksums to the server from all the clients (ie users accounts); and right now I don't see a solution to this problem that doesn't exclude DCC nor require all e-mails to be passed via a single system. I think I'm trying to squeeze a solution out of DCC that simply isn't there; but I'm still working on it. :-) /Tony -- Per scientiam ad libertatem. ©1999-2002 tony@vanstrom.org -- Random URL (10/10): <URL: http://www.elektrosmog.nu/ > 802.11b in Sweden... -- Random epigram: (9701/11671) They call them "squares" because it's the most complicated shape they can deal with.
