I failed to explain what I meant. I want to have a lookup done from a central filter or system filter, but the lookup would be performed on an external file such as /var/mail/block/dirty_spammer.db and dirty_spammer.db would consist of "Received:" headers, one to each line. I have tried it and it did not work. -- Andrew
