Russ,

        Maybe you should run your NT list on a Unix system using Sendmail?
;-)

        The only really effective option (other than the above) I could
come up with involves you actually reconfiguring your routers to block
known spam sites. This would allow you to, say, completely ignore all
packets from any net-block owned by AGIS. This tactic has evidently been
used by a fair number of sites. [1]

        Anyway, I'm not very NT competent, so maybe there's a "native" way
NT (or LMAIL?) can do this sort of thing. Any real NT admins out there who
can speak to this subject?

Apology accepted. Just try not to do it again. :-)
