Thank you all for the responses. The domain I want to route to error is "hotmail.com". Even if I managed to find out the IPs of all of Hotmail's smtp servers - I still would not achieve what I want; i.e. block email from spammers who are not sending from Hotmail (only using @hotmail.com as the address). I really am not interested in email that purports to be (or is really) from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "<a random sequence of characters>@hotmail.com". Oh well, I guess I just route it to error and forget about it. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
