Yes. I have taken to adding network space to my router's filters when the spammers using it ignore the SIMS rejections for too long. I have 30 /16 chunks of China and Korea blocked right now, as well as 4.0.0.0/8 (Genuity) for the persistent spammers there who seem to be paying their bills. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
