To really add some confusion to this thread... In mid November I swaped out my gateway server, since then my blacklist rejections have droped dramatically. August had 3.5 million rejects Sept had 4.3 million rejects Oct had 5.4 million rejects Nov had 5.6 million rejects Dec had 2.9 million rejects Jan so far has only 1.3 million rejects I've been wondering why the sudden drop here. Hey I guess if you handling all the spambots for I owe you a thanks! ;-) ================================= Kevin W.
