I agree, and I will check out your recommendation further. (Currently, 97% of our connections are spam, and of those, over 99.5% are rejected during the SMTP conversation. Only .3% are actually run through SA. SA is a bit (a lot!) of a heavy weight, and most of the functionality is turned off and unused, but it's also simple to implement. So I am interested in other ways, such as your suggestion.) Thanks to all for speedy and useful responses. J
