blackholes.mail-abuse.org is no longer free so unless you have a contract with MAPS that entry won't be working. A free alternative 'spam-source' DNSBL is the SBL: sbl.spamhaus.org (see http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl-faqs.lasso for info on it) There are a couple of others you may wish to investigate. I find the best setup is to use 3 DNSBLs: one for spam-source, one for open relays and one for dial-ups (or one for open SOCKS proxies). -- Steve Linford Ultradesign Xtreme Network http://www.uxn.com ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
