Thanks Chris. We want to use some type of blacklist, and we have a few
clients that do not want to have us block mail at the server level. I think
or remember reading that Mailscanner can open up certain domains not to be
scanned/blocked. Guess will need to do some reading.

Anyone know of a similar FTP blacklist :)) ??
