Oh, terra.com.  I get lots of copies of klez from, let's see,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and my system filter fails (bounces) the
delivery each time.  That has been going on for a month of more now.
Same exact address every time (envelope sender).

I wonder if the two domains are related at all.

(interesting, terra.com.br has whois info, but terra.com.gt doesn't)

Since my junk from there is already hit by the klez (etc.) filter, no.
I do have a local MTA-level ban on a certain DSL customer in Spain who
keeps spamming me (and some non-existant users).
