I keep missing the part that has to do with laws and legallity. You see to like to toss that around without any legal precedence for your statements. Its a shame for you and your employer that you don't believe in filtering abuse from your network. Your also in the minority. Simple as that. Just as it is your right to misconfigure your mail server and provide free services to spammers, it is my right to blackhole you from existance. Neat how that works both ways. Its probably best that everyone agrees to disagree. You can keep providing services to spammers and we will continue to block you and we can leave it at that. I'm sure some people on SPAM-L would have some opinions on this subject should you decide to take it to the proper forum. andy
