Which is *exactly* why block-on-sight for these things is the right response. Just don't even bother. (OTOH? That fact is why I *don't* run the rfc-ignorant blocks. Too many false positives from folks who run otherwise-legit sites (or are customers of otherwise-legit hosting company who have no control over the site) who can't be bothered to get *every* *little* *iota* of the RFC's right... I mean, OK, postmaster@ really should work, but if they want to use anonymous WHOIS or something like that, as long as they're not spamming me, I *don't* *care*.... and if they are spamming me? They'll run across some other block... even if I have to make it myself. :) -- Glenn
