and certainly should were that the case, but the idea is to ban those sites that have repeated rejections and/or refusals in a short period of time. The purpose is to ban rogue sites that continually pound your system attempting access, to relay mail/spam and/or to deliver spam to you, not to stop or deter valid ligitimate connection attempts. Ligitimate sites will not spend this type of effort for access. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
