Nevertheless Rogerio, we are not impressed and from discussions on other lists, this particular ISP has left a bad taste in everyones mouth. Each of us has various methods of dealing with this, and ATM I'm forwarding all such messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Its no doubt a black hole, but... The Fedora list has simply expunged all users from this ISP from the subscription lists, a self defense brought on by a C/R response from this twerp for every message posted, doubling the load on the servers. You see, the C/R responder this clueless twit has setup, is also expunging all traces of the source user from the headers of the messages, therefore we have no recourse against that user as an individual and must perforce blacklist, reject, or otherwise dispose of all messages comeing from that triplet of addresses that represent uol.com.br. If your messages are not getting through, then your choice as we see it, is to lean on your ISP and loan them a clue. Bat optional, but I'd take one along. Your call. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
