Furthermore, what does a spammer care? He relays his spam through dozens or hundreds of zombie hosts, which in turn relay the spam through their providers MX relay, filling up the queue and entering the MX into every imaginable blacklist existing. I hope, this will answer your question, why someone does not necessarily wants to use the ISPs relay server at all costs. CU, Venty -- Osama bin Laden ist immer noch frei, aber bist Du es auch noch?
