TL>Hmm, what do you mean there?

  I have several blacklisted server databases...such as:

1) bl.csma.biz
2) bl.spamcop.net
3) blackholes.mail-abuse.org
4) spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net
5) list.dsbl.org
6) psbl.surriel.com
7) relays.ordb.org
8) sbl.spamhaus.org
9) sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
10) spamcop.net
11) zen.spamhous.org

  Several of those were when I ran the FireTrust email deal along with
MailWasher Pro for Windows. It really cut down on the spam. I also use
Spam Assassin over here.

  I'd rather be safe than sorry.

  My memory is awful...that's what 2 lightning strikes and a concussion
