Well yes, if you aren't smart about how you use it. :) We use it by throwing away any entries older than 6 months and putting the rest in a database. We happen to use PostgreSQL, but you could also use something like Berkeley DB. Then lookups are fast. > I should rather block content not email addresses. I think an email address *known* to have been compromised is a fine thing to block, especially if you block mail going *to* that address. The list of phishing URLs is potentially very useful too, but as I said, we haven't started using those yet. Regards, David.
