I don't know what you mean, are you talking about stats for your machine, or more globally? I use postfix; the logwatch report tells me who's blocked. I have other rules too: ehlo <something> Something has to be present, resolvable and not a simple name. Stops lots (and some, but not many legit senders, and they get warned by their server if it's working) The sender's IP must resolve to a domain name. Those rules probably stop more than the block lists. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
