2012-01-12 Thread Angus McIntyre
Apologies in advance for what is undoubtedly going to turn out to be a D'oh! error on my part, but I'm running out of ideas here. I'm trying to block incoming mail from French snowshoe spammer multi-fax.fr, who sends mail from a range of IP addresses and changes domain names every day to try
