I'm curious too - but I think that will only work if the IP address is used in the FROM address; for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Or MAYBE if the host name resolves to that IP address. In this case the FROM address was supposedly a Hotmail.com address but I suspect that the IP address he's trying to block isn't a Hotmail IP. I don't think Exchange is going to bother doing any name resolution, though, so I doubt that would work. It's been a long day so I may be off-track here, but that's my recollection of how message filtering and specify by host works. <grin> Aloha, -Ben- Ben M.
