Most of the mail wasn't even destined for our users and it was relayed from
several other servers. I can't believe...it's just
appalling(spelling?)...that people actually strive on this stuff.

I have no problems with blocking any domain for mail, because eventually
when enough get blocked, around the world with tons of ISP's, the crap will
stop and laws will be put in place. The same thing happens with Postal mail
though, and I have a permanent solution to places that send me junk mail
via the United States Post Office. Call them, if you by chance actually GET
someone on the phone, and when they ask if you are threatening them by
saying, "Next time I get mail from you, or any of your related associates,
expect a lawsuit," you say, "This is a threat? Da** straight, try me!" I
actually don't get any junk mail anymore, except from newer companies.
When they are told what *will* happen and they don't abide, it's standings
to the Right of Privacy. However, one must be careful to know WHEN and
WHERE you may have actually subscribed to such lists....that small print
can get you every time. *grin*

Good luck with this one Mitch, The ones we got used an incrementing
address. We've tried but he always finds a way back in. He does not
relay off of us but he sends junk to our users regularly. We get the
bounce off of AOL and Hotmail both. It's not like I can block the whole
domains...
