Same thing happens when you post anything to usenet. I use a combination of sendmail antispam rules, and a filter I coded myself. The former, which can be found at http://www.sendmail.org/antispam.html can be used to block known spam domains (my list was obtained from cybernothing.org -don't have the exact URL, but it has all cyberpromo domains and others, so far about 900 of them) and also to prevent relaying. The latter is my own spam filter which attempts to filter on context based rules and works pretty good on whatever is left after the sendmail level stuff, it's avail. at http://antispam.shmooze.net/filter/. regards, markjr Mark Jeftovic aka: mark jeff or vic, stunt pope. markjr@shmOOze.net http://www.shmOOze.net/~markjr PWC's BOFH http://www.PrivateWorld.com IRC: L-bOMb Keep `em Guessing To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
