I'd have thought trying to filter on IP addresses is a little difficult to do when it comes to spam, seeing as the large number of sources. You'll be forever updating your filters, and then eventually get lost in the massive list. You may even end up filtering mail you probably shouldn't. Just a thought ;) > If the latter, can I make a list on the 'alternative' tab, > and if I do that, how do I separate them?

I've seen some people utilising this to block known spammers locations. I think one of the better methods would be to speak to your mail provider, and see if they can implement real time black lists, and use services such as http://mail-abuse.org or even http://www.ordb.org. Again, just a thought. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
