The mail bounce was due to change-ISP-HELL; all the miscellany
that I screwed up on. (I'm grateful for this list and the
help gleened from the good people here!) Please do re-send
your mail and I get in touch with DN.org for the fix.

Draconic is fine; I'd like to blackhole every spammer ever
whelped. I do have a 900-line list of my own IP's that was
fairly effective. When I was fighting alligators with my
DNS and secondary and ISP and sendmail, I pitched my access
file ... It's backed up somewhere, but figured the one
you mentioned might be more effective. Or as-effective.
