Just for later 'discussion' purposes, as your headers for this mail will prove, I am on a static IP range. I am not in the same boat as John, but I still would not dream of penalising without a proven, (with regards to what my own logs say), reason. The really annoying thing is, it is easy to set up an automated system to add offending IP's or IP blocks to your own local rbl's, so any IP, whether it be dynamic or static has a one shot chance. There is no need to block outright from the outset. Matt _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
