Using the ORDB (Open Relay Data Base) as a filter works great too. It checks the incoming email against a huge database of openrelay servers. I recently enabled my Courier system to use ORDB, and it cut my spam by a huge amount. Sure, some still get through, but then it's easier to block them on a domain (return-path) basis, instead of trying to block people that can change their return-path at the drop of a hat (or letter in this case). -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
