Tempfailing is also useful for whipping on known spamsites. I never outright blocked them, but would instead consistantly reject 99% of messages (all except destined for abuse/root/postmaster/etc at our sites) from historically nasty spam hosts with a 471. that way if it was a legit site, they would eventually contact me due to queue size. i konw it was a nasty thing to do, but why let them use *my* diskspace when they have a problem they need to deal with... _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
