Mark, the entries are like this....<BR>

25.110.50 REJECT<BR>
30.120 REJECT<BR>
40 REJECT<BR>
somedomain.com REJECT<BR>
zw REJECT<BR>
another-idea.com REJECT<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
etc... those just examples of the way the IP's and hostnames are in the access file. I've been using an access file for years, but just noticed these IP's were not being blocked, but some are being caught by the spamd/rtbl and other spam fighting tools.<BR>
