After looking at their web pages, I'd write to their postmaster and complain about the probes - they don't *appear* to be completely bogus and I don't have any record of them or their IP range in any of my spam databases here. They *do* advertise "auto-responders" and SMTP-less delivery agents (which makes no particular sense) so they could just be well cloaked. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
