Scott, Are you with Declude? I have some questions for someone there. We are ready to buy the virus protection and spam filtering but I need some questions answered first. I called Declude last week and left a message for a return call. I haven't heard back and haven't followed up as I've had a series of minor crisis since.

The Control Access file, though, will let you enter IPs and IP ranges not to accept mail from. Of course, if they really have unlimited IPs, you're going to have a hard time blocking them by adding all the IPs. :) It sounds like you may be dealing with one of the new high tech "hacker spammers" that breaks into dozens/hundreds of computers, and instructs them to send E-mail through thousands of open relays. Those aren't easily dealt with, but the weighting system in our Declude helps out (which allows you to receive mail from open relays if you want, while blocking mail with multiple problems). Also, Message Sniffer ( http://www.sortmonster.com -- it's not our product, but works with Declude and other spam software) does a good job detecting spam based on the content, which helps out a lot in these cases. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
