As would I. They are blocking only the server where we put undergraduate accounts, over 60% of which have forwarding set, most frequently to Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL accounts. When the spam volume coming in here gets too high, our server *appears* to be an open relay (which it is not). The bounced messages contain a pointer to a web page which claims they only block after running a relay test on the suspect IP, this being done "after that IP address has been identified as source of significant suspicious inbound traffic". I'm wondering it they aren't bothering with the test anymore. AOL did the same thing to us about ago. It took several days to get that resolved. - SLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott L.
