hmmm. i've not seen that, but on the other hand, i'm seeing very few hits
on it at all, and was considering yanking it from my configuration for
reasons of non-performance.

yes, although i tried to play the open relay game for a little while and
eventually decided it was too much for me.
my list of domains provides a nice backup to the IP address based stuff;
things like btamail.net.cn move from relay to relay so fast that there's no
hope of doing an IP address based block.
my current list of blocked domains is published on the web, by the way,
http://www.krusty-motorsports.com/sender_reject, and could be fetched
easily by a cron job using lynx or wget.
cheers,
richard
