Pete, Is there a possibility of setting up another return code for situations such as this such as a blacklist rulecode that only has rules for messages such as these that should be blacklisted immediately.  I wouldn't mind setting certain high priority rules to block immediately.    Jim Matuska Jr. Computer Tech2, CCNA Nez Perce Tribe Information Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Schmidt To: sniffer@SortMonster.com Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 10:41 AM Subject: RE: [sniffer] New Spam Storm Yes, these messages were caused by Sunday's Sober.O and Sober.P remote update of previously infected PCs, causing them to send out millions of neo-nazi mail. The next update (likely a new spam-wave) is scheduled in 10 days. Some public mailboxes got as many as 50,000 emails in 48 hours to a single account.   SURBL will catch many of them for a while - big problem are returns to faked senders that are not as easily blocked.
