Do like 500 hosting accounts with various ISPs, heck, even just dealing with one like Verizon would be nightmarish to manage. The list of exceptions would be huge. Add to that travelers on hand helds or hitting webmail from a cyber cafe and it becomes a pretty nasty list to manage. It seems like there should be a simple solution that simply deals with email generated by internal users, outbound vs. the world, inbound. My searching has provided no answers thus far. Also, wouldn't this in essence whitelist inbound email from those same addresses? Most providers do dynamic IP addresses and what might be your user one hour might be a spammer's the next hour. Thanks for any ideas... John Hinton
