I am going to ask questions here of Scott and others at Declude. Scott, please do not take this the wrong way. Scott, did you create this test, or is it otherwise your idea? Scott, are you in control of features and changes to declude.exe, or are others now influencing your decisions? I have to say I have noticed a "change" in the "traditional" way features and suggestions are taking place. In defense of Scott's post, I will have to say it is becoming increasingly hard to fight spam and viruses as more and more come from IPs that are dynamic, and more and more business are using those same blocks. Example, one server I maintain kept receiving a ton of viruses from a Mpower /16 block. So I block the whole thing. Turns out, I have a client in the block, and I was block his e-mail to my server. BAD! Now, if this client would listen to me what I have been trying to tell him for 2 years now to get a firewall, I could simply set up a VPN between his firewall and mine, and I could then block those IPs as my server would see him coming from the private IP, not the ISP one. What we have is a society that wants to spend as little as possible, yet the ones we are trying to protect them from are spending money and time.
