I do the exact same thing but call it MY_EVIL :) I didn't know how many I could place in either. So I put about 15-20 then make a MY_EVIL2, and so on. I sift thru the spams every once and a while for the evil domains. I will start to manually expire a few so spliting them up will help. As the lower numbers will be the oldest domains. These aren't the domain of the sender, but the URL of host. (IE:margate.com) So short answer is : I don't know. :P Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
