It most certainly does not ignore edu addresses.  I am getting hundreds 
of these across my mail server (RAV is stopping them though).  Also my 
address is being spoofed a lot.

Yeah, I am pretty sick of the cox port 25 block.  My mail server is 
pretty unaffected by this thing due to the relatively low volume for 
~125 email addresses.  COX on teh other hand seems to be bombing.  I 
sent a 30 character email last night that took about 35 minutes to make 
it through COX's server.

COX blows for blocking 25.

I didn't really think it was possible Will, but I think you are more of 
a zealot than even I (as I  type this on OS X)!  :-)
