Some of the spammers will eventually notice that your bogus MXer is not responding and fall back to trying the other MXers. There are several alternatives, including using fake proxypots that simulate a mailserver to varying degrees and may fool spammers for longer. Another approach is to use something like postgrey to delay new connections: http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/ Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
