somone on the list (who shall remain nameless) once said that collateral damage is OK if it reduces spam. the people in that block should find a new service. i don't agree with that (since i'm on a dynamic block myself). maybe once i get a static IP again, i'll change my mind. ;-) btw, i have this bookmarked. it's a good reference: http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm claims to be a list of all DNS based blacklists. it's kind of an interesting read. pete -- Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler. -- Albert Einstein GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
