WHy would you want to recieve email from dialup IPs?? The best thing to do is enable delay checks. Which won't block it until after it checks your access list. (Well this is how it works with Sendmail anyway.) This way even though it is listed, you can whitelist it in your own server. Then you can get all the tasty Novarg stuff you've been missing ;) --Chris
