Thanks Michael, I'm pretty familiar with Perl. However writing a rule for noreply@ wasn't where I wanted to go given that it's too simplistic a pattern and prone to false positives with automated systems that use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Given the IPs only produce this stuff it seemed smarter to just block them.
