Having recently moved to the UK, I am amused at how much of the spam tries on my MX still comes rom comcast, verizon and road-runner netblocks. In fact, I could cut most of my direct to MX spam by blocking the US completely. I would lose some traffic I want (Debian lists and PLUG among them), but if we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I guess it all works out in the end. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | SHHHH!!
