If this is the case, then you have an almost direct pointer to the cause. The only way this wouldn't work is if the SPF records get spoofed as a result of a lazy sysadmin not updating the DNS server with a more secure version. You could blacklist domains that fraudulently pass the SPF filter, but that would defeat the purpose - you'd be working as hard as you would be if you were maintaining manual whitelists or blacklists. -- Aaron Mason AKA Absorbent Shoulder Man <i>Oh, why does everything I whip leave me?</i>
