Hey thanks for the help Scott and Jeff. That's exactly what I needed, I think I knew about the Control Access list too, just forgot about it as I have not had to do much blocking until recently. These new "hacker spammers" sound like a lot of fun, might be what's happening with us, because they are sending the same piece of Spam from a whole lotta places. I'm thinking we are getting enough Spam lately to warrant needing Declude. Is it very hard to setup Scott?
