Hi John, Many thanks for the input on this - it's appreciated. John, whereabouts *precisely* do I input the text below please and is that all that needs to be done ? >describe BL_COUNTRY_CN_1 Mail client in China >header BL_COUNTRY_CN_1 eval:check_rbl('china', >'cn.countries.nerd.dk') >score BL_COUNTRY_CN_1 0.5 >tflags BL_COUNTRY_CN_1 net My scenario is that my website is on shared hosting servers, I don't have access to the root, but I do have access to Spamassasin. Chris.
