These damned spammers sending out junk to foul up bayesian filtering is getting to be too much. Not to mention the latest tactic is to sneak IRCbots onto victim's PC's and voila!! Open Proxy. As long as there is a piece of crap operating system like windblows out there that bots and worms can easily compromise, then netblock port scans and detections of proxies will be a necessary evil of the internet. I for one, if one of my luser subscribers is discovered with a proxy or IRCbot running then I for one would like to know about it. -- Michael Jezierski TriLutions Internet Center BOFH - Chief LARTer - Slayer of Spam[mers] Master of the Clue-By-Four +1 (309) 342-7177 x212
