Hello, Ahh! That is much clearer! You may want to look into ucspi-tcp in sysutils/ports. Its tcpserver, tcprules, and rblsmtpd "sub-programs" do a fairly good job of rejecting connections from undesirable smtp servers - from the individual address all the way to netblock level. See http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html for details. Other possible options a something like spamassassin, route them to /dev/null, etc. Another 2%, Stheg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
