So do it at SMTP RCPT time; you can control per user then, assuming the blacklisted address is an envelope sender. e.g.: MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 OK RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 550 Go away, blacklisted RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 OK It's very easy to do this with Exim; I'm sure other MTA's/software configurations must be able to do a similar thing. > In addition I want the user to be able to control the blacklist > ... I don't want to have to update the access db on his behalf. Write a script to generate the SMTP-time access file periodically, from individual user blacklists? Tim
