While I don't like the new rules, we had to adopt them on all our hosted 
email servers.
Mark, you stop the DDOS and spam attacks worldwide and let me sleep and 
I will turn
the rules off. Until then, follow the new rules so I can sleep or I have 
to do
without the filePro list. NO Exceptions! Without the rules, our servers 
were blacklisted daily.
With the rules, very seldom. So get off your soap box and live with the 
new world order!
