True.. (My alternate posting address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]) This would not only irritate me, but in the event I did help you, you'd run the risk of deleting my help without reading it because it got spam tagged. Thats the fundamental problem with ISP-wide blacklists. You need to make SURE you'll never want to talk to someone from that domain. This more-or-less precludes your use of ANY public mailing list, because anyone, including your blacklisted ISP, may be using that ISP and be on the list. blacklist_from is much more severe about this than any other method, because it WILL blacklist mail that is posted onto mailing lists.
