yes, it is. The least this will do is gradually (maybe even immediately) fill any available pipes to your server with shit because you can accept unlimited amounts of spam. So they get paid for sending you spam, and you're paying for receiving it to your ISP. If you happen to inadvertantly break this special configuration, you'll likely shit on the 'Net like hell. Mind you, spammers usually have more resources to waste than most of us. Probably the best thing you can do is to 4xx or 5xx spammers if you can't catch them on the IP level already. The next best thing may be to get them caught. Best, --Toni++
