That is why I used the term "good" RBL service. I know of at least one RBL service that blacklists on a country basis. For those persons/companies subscribing to that server my emails are blocked since I happen to live in one of the "bad" countries. FWIW, I'm not a fan of RBL services and while many of them exist I've not seen any data as to how widely used they are. -- You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. 葛斯克 愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段
