I'm using it after the dns black lists and yes it helps. But the real time blacklists get the most spam, as it is my first line of defence. My problem is that courier seems to wait until the smpt connection timeouts and is not just closing the connection after sending the spammer, that his IP is on a black list. And it seems to use one process per connection attempt. And as most of the spamming computers are windows pcs which are controlled by a spammer there are a lot of connection, which could just be closed after sending a 5xx without forking or a least without waiting for a timeout after sending that block message. -- Regards, Robert ----- Robert Penz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
