I would think that since Vixie has some experience with standards, he would be able to come up with a better definition. One perhaps that doesn't change day to day depending on who he wants to block at the moment. Although, perhaps that is what he means to do, in which case, look out AOL. I thought at least we could get an answer as to whether Vixie will RBL AOL for sending unsolicited mail and refusing to stop. I would hope for some sort of explanation about how they do or don't fit his current definition. I'm all for blaming spammers. We just found an unauthorized relay this morning. But I'll be pursuing them with federal prosescutors, not via vigilante operations. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc [email protected] LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
