The ones I'm actually trying to block this way are forged
'froms' .. EU and Asia, mostly, according to the whois
servers.

Can't think where it could have come from, then :-) But
I've got a couple, and would like to implement them .. I
may have taken one of them and loaded it, but don't
actually know if the format is correct, and so on.
So if it wasn't preloaded, will it work with CR
separations? lol!

A great idea .. I want in on this.

Well.. yabut .. I'd kind of rather do it myself, if I can
put something together that'll work. Partly because I'm
hammerheaded, and partly because of things like I hear
occasionally from people on other lists .. "... sorry I've
been absent, but I had to change ISP's, and now my lists don't
come through, and I finally called them, and their spam
filters won't allow it .. they say they'll work on it.. "
There isn't a lot of it about, but complaints may cause
more of it, and I'm a tinkerer by nature :-)
I should ask this in a separate mail, I suppose, but is
there any way I can copy a set of filters from this
machine over to another, or do I have to rebuild the whole
set? It's kind of time consuming ...
