You mean to say they aren't all cheese eating surrender monkeys!?! ;) Anyone who has looked at spam even over a single weekend can tell you the % of spam that comes from france is tiny compared to Korea, China, and even Latin America! Hell france is a distant 5th in my list! I HAVE to deal with these countries. So I can't be blacklisting willy nilly. I like the 550 error the best. They can simply fax, call, or email to a different addy and I can fix. Which has happened a few times already. Some people have the luxury of blocking the whole country. I wish I did :( Why, oh why, won't Chinanet just die? :) Chris Santerre System Admin and SA Custom Rules Emporium keeper http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/sa_rules.htm "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men." - Willy Wonka ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
