Spam rate is quite low with .at > domains, compared to others. Fixed. Sorry about that Michael. I had an old pcre that checked the SMTP client rDNS host name against a bunch of ccTLDs I received spam from some time ago. I forgot to disable it when I moved to a much more effective and a bit more sane anti-spam configuration. I'm surprised someone such as yourself hadn't tripped this before now with all the lists I subscribe to. That said, I do still block some entire countries' IP space using ipdeny.com info, such as China, Russia, Korea, Malaysia, and a handful of others from which I'll likely never receive legit mail. I might from Russia due to some of my list memberships. The "Reply-to-list" option in one's MUA is one's friend. Reply-all causes rows like this and just duplicates messages needlessly. There are times when a reply-all is needed, but usually that's not the case. Only when non-list members are CC'd in a thread do I hit the "reply-all" button. Anyway, enough about mail management and my somewhat draconian anti-spam policies. ;) -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
