JC> http://www.surbl.org/lists.html#ws JC> http://www.surbl.org/quickstart.html we are talking about a lowly domain owner on a shared server, where we do not have the ability to modify the SA setup. I can't install surbl on my host's server, and chances are she can't either. The blacklist is the majority of my user_prefs, even with just about all SARE rules in there as well, and yes, it consumes overhead, but it's the best solution in my environment. When my host eventually upgrades to 3.0 with surbl built-in, then depending upon results I may discontinue using sa-blacklist.cf ... until then I rely on it. Bob Menschel
