Please read this sentence again, and this time completely: "If you want to be a little more aggressive about it, use the 5th line instead of the fourth." (in your example third instead of second). Quite easy: comment the second line out and remove the comment mark on the third line. Rather easy, even for a "copy/paste guy" (which shouldn't administer a mail system at all if he don't want to read documentation, but assumes all configuration is "ready to be copied"). But PLEASE ... read the comments that describe lines 1-4 on the web site again and again, until you understood them. Line two might prevent you from blocking this lists server ... I guess you should block anything automatically, unless you finally understood what you're doing. You might annoy you and innocent third parties if you don't know what your finger actions results in ... -- Regards Peter Palmreuther Originality is the art of concealing your source.
