An ISP with way too much time on their hands can log dynamic IP port-25 attempts and then chase down the luser and try to help them get their system straightened out, but mostly you just block the port and forget about it. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
