Be aware that many oh-so-helpful spam reduction services oh-so-helpfully assume that any mail coming from a block they--sometimes wrongly, as in the case of SBC's statically assigned customer addresses, rather like the one I have--identify as dynamically assigned, will oh-so-helpfully classify any mail from that host as spam. The response, if you complain? "You should be using your ISP's mailserver." Thanks. In short, you don't want to do this, if you care about your mail getting to all its intended recipients. Although I don't care for spammers in the least, many of the self-appointed cures are far nastier than the disease. Adam
