Maybe some shit-disturber with a warped sense of "humor"? Maybe the same joker who has Earthlink, otherwise one of the better big ISP's, inconvenience their customers by blocking port 25 outbound and sending them nastygrams accusing them of running one of those wicked open relays if they attempt to send mail to an Earthlink address from their own mail server on an Earthlink dialup. (Not a problem if you come from outside or bypass the MX servers and use an internal corporate relay like calmanagement here has done.) No, I don't spam, of course not. There are people dumb enough of course not to know yet that spamming is moronic and counterproductive as a business practice, and there will be until everyone has been on the net for some time, and there are also people who think it's a clever way to annoy people. Same kind of people who get off on cyber, prolly. Why reward wankers like them? I just ignore what little can't be filtered out (without stomping on legitimate mail, dammit, I once lost out on a killer deal on pallet load of Pentium II Overdrive upgrades because the guy's ISP was using DUL blocking) and I heartily recommend this approach to anyone. jbdigriz
