I just ignored it. True, very few people are going to blacklist an entire ISP, but Shamil is/was receiving virii from a specific IP address. I have had this happen before. With the received headers, I could trace it back to a specific IP (and e-mail address) and armed with that info, I contacted the offender and when that fell on deaf ears, I contacted the offenders ISP. They, the offenders ISP, blocked them for a while (it appeared that it was in the order of several weeks) until the offender got their PC cleaned up. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at gmail.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!"
