Hi Zbigniew, If a client tells us of their problem getting email from anyone we are happy to whitelist any IP's they validate, but we have none at this point. In all likely hood we won't have anyone who should receive legitimate email from Poland ( no disrespect to anyone ). On another note " brilliance of such a solution" is in the eye of the beholder. You feel like we are doing you a disservice unintentionally because we may be blocking your IP, but in reality the other people in Poland who are exploiting the internet are to blame. :( Our clients feel like we have finally done our jobs and stopped more spam from getting to their mailboxes. :) If you want to send me you IP info directly, I will be happy to look at our existing log files and if we haven't been emailed from their in an unreasonable amount can whitelist your servers. But don't be so quick to judge someone without spending the day in their shoes. We are all in this battle as admins, and I only shared my results to see if someone can benefit from it just like others have done in the past and helped me. Joey
