Actually that is how I have been populating my URL Blacklist table, but I hadn't gotten as far to make a batch file for it and schedule it, I should get that figured out next. I'm really loving the URL Blacklist, it's a great new feature. It's especially nice to get my Imail Daily Report and see 80 messages getting snagged by the URL BL after just a couple weeks with it. 80 might seem low, but we are a small company so 80 is about 32 percent of our daily Spam. The only thing I didn't know how to handle was merging the update from Ipswitch with what I had already. I wasn't sure if you could edit the URL Domain Blacklist directly or not. Thanks for all the info.
