I sense m-to-n confusion here.  When you say 'blocks mail for all sites,'
do you mean all entities hosted on the local cobalt with the 
/etc/mail/access file?  Basically, I'm confused as to the meanings of 
sites and domains in the above quote.

	the domain is registered solely for receiving mail from suckers 
	falling for spam, then it's good for naught.
