I'd wager the problem is that you're blocking the domain on the envelope and not the one that's used on the SMTP conversation. You need to understand the way a SMTP conversation works for that to make sense.... (which you may already know)... tgreen@cavey:~$ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 cavey.bandcamp.tv ESMTP helo localhost 250 cavey.bandcamp.tv Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you mail from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 2.1.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender ok rcpt to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 2.1.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient ok data 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself From: Tony Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tony Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Test Test . 250 2.0.0 gAHAVa29025813 Message accepted for delivery The line : helo localhost Contains the line which access.db is blocking against, the line: mail from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] shows the line which shows up as the 'from' address in the email. Post the headers from the spam you're receiving and we'll have a better chance of helping. This may not be the problem, but it's a good place to start looking. Greeno
