I think Gary's correct you may want to look at this page and see if you can get that traffic getting to SpamAssassin down. http://www.postfix.org/uce.html The 'smtpd_helo_restrictions' are particularly effective but I would use the 'reject_unknown_hostname' with caution. Try it with the 'warn_if_reject' setting to see how much legitimate mail, if any, it might block. -- Gino Cerullo Pixel Point Studios 21 Chesham Drive Toronto, ON M3M 1W6 416-247-7740 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
