But it doesn't work with mails submitted via not listed SMTP relays. Since the usernames are used quite often (like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so) it is an effective way to block those idiots from wherever they connect to internet or relay their mails. In addition it is not much work, the scheduler runs the script every hour and the list is updated automagically. I just every Spam address that makes it through the filter to avoid future Spams with the same >From address;) (Probably 10 minutes a day of my time). Well, I wrote about half an hour for the Perl script to fill the several lists, unfortunately they all use different syntax: XMail: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Ecartis: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And the wildcard handling differs a little bit here and there. Gerrit -- =^..^= - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
