As a large NSP, having to constantly call people and say "Hi, you were over-zealous, stop blocking our domain" is a total and complete waste of time, especially since many people don't properly check for forgeries and origins. We own mail.net, which is one of the more commonly forged domains - blocking mail.net will affect many of our customers who have legitimate third-level domains under mail.net... I hope that you can see my point here... OTOH, I don't advocate spammers, just not throwing the baby out with the bathwater... Cat Okita Systems Administrator, UUNET Canada > On 20-May-97 Jonathan M.
