Thanks. ..why spoil the fun? ;-) Spam etc needs relaying "roads" to travel to your box. ORDB also accepts email reports rather than this, uh, "massive" web form, and I would think mailfilter or fetchmail or somesuch can be a workable source for a mailto pipe. ..a third idea is a to "first check if the same spam relay has been reported by someone else", ORDB has a 200 host report cap, and reporting the same box half a bazillion times a day would just DOS ORDB, which is not quite what we wanna do. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
