Greetings, I was just thinking the same thing. In general, I hate (as I'm sure everyone else here does as well) cutting connectivity, but this appears to be the only way to fix the problem. The RBL (or something architected like it) would be a very clean way of doing it.... Chris --On Sunday, 12 April, 1998, 00:54 -0400 "Jon Lewis" <jlewis@inorganic5.fdt.net> wrote:

This is a monumental admission: I think Karl is doing the right thing.
Would the vix people have any interest in just adding "being a smurf amp" to the possible causes for entry in the BGP version of RBL? That way, it would be harder for the smurf d00dz to get up to date lists.
I suggested this sort of thing a while ago, but don't currently have time to implement it. The vix people already have everything in place.
