I agree. In all likelyhood, Spamcop listed the SHAW IP which is where the email originates from and not the Yahoo IP. Perhaps the student will take this as a lesson to choose a better ISP. >> Solution: >> remove: reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net >> from your smtpd_recipient_restrictions line until they fix their abuse >> issues. It's not *their* issue. They list servers/IPs that send a significant amount of spam. I would suggest the people with the issue are the IP owners. Not spamcop. But as others have said, you're not obliged to use it. So please don't. Simon
