I have had a great deal of spam from sites in Arizona (after all, they invented it) and as far as I can remember not one legitimate message. Florida would get the same treatment but I subscribe to a mailing list hosted there. I'd certainly plonk the Florida bit of UUNET if there were only some way for me to do it, but the relevant information is in a "Received:" line, i.e. where SMTP can't see it. I already bounce all messages with a .tw address in the envelope, for the same reason. Have *you* ever had a legitimate email from Taiwan? ========> Email to "jc" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce. <======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html food intolerance data and recipes, freeware logic fonts for the Macintosh, and Scots traditional music resources
