I agree Mike, In fact I've just spent the last 4 hours 'polishing' up our access control list and rules. I've wrote a simple program that'll pull the info about an ip address or email address and inform me if it is black listed. If it gets a positive hit from 3 of the 5 different 'relay' type service checks then I add them into the access list and the email into the kill list. Over 95% of the ones I've pulled are spam/porn without a doubt. About 25% of the list was from spam relay servers without a valid dns. I'd say I'm about sure as anyone can be on this mess. Our small usage email server is 'gathering' more spam/porn as Scott estimated 90/10 and it is more than frustrating - disheartening to be more specific. ~Rick ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
