Hi Chuck: We have done that and it works great for us.
We have designed a database that all spam data goes in there. All filter parameters are entered in a relational table. We have a script that downloads various queries into text files and then they are copied on a schedule in the IMail directory. - Stop SMTP service - Copy all files - Start SMTP service All people do is when they see a spam in the spam account they enter it in the replicated database which then does everything automatically. I am sure there is an easier way but with our system we can simply state a 7 month window for queries so all entries are not always entered.

Thanks Scott: The reason blocking IPs is not the answer is because I would have to spend 24 hours a day doing it. Also Imail's control access list is just a list of IPs. It would be nice if the list was part of a database where you could put dates and reasons for blacklisting IPs - Chuck Schick Warp 8, Inc. 303-421-5140 www.warp8.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.
