Actually all I meant is I wouldn't use it or add any contacts, however I've not blocked them I don't think. If I start seeing a lot of emails from them in my logs I may be tempted to block them. I seriously think they are just a front for gathering legit email addresses for spammers, but that's just a suspicion or opinion not based on any hardcore evidence other that what a client told me happened to him. That particular client is really nice but not the sharpest PC owner on the block.

I am not going to add them to my blacklist, where e-mails would be deleted. I will check to see if I can reject these e-mails at the envelope using my Postfix box though. Fortunately (I guess), I'm not personally in a situation where I have thousands of hosting customers that I need to pander to. I only have a handful of clients that I all know personally, and in my situation it makes much more sense to block this stuff outright and warn my customers against using it.
