 | But, the big question is how much legitimate e-mail have you also not received. I'm a big fan of restrictive filtering, but I still get spam from servers that would fail your tests (Yahoo, G-Mail, etc), and every now and then a legitimate e-mail gets tossed (I never reject, just redirect to a review folder).

As mentioned, do you get any mail?  It would be quicker to just unplug and they would still see the same results.  -- Whats the point of owning a supercar if you cant scare yourself stupid from time to time? |

| Honestly with the amount of spam I get due to my domain I might as well not get any email anymore.
I've been thinking of how to tighten stuff up on my server that runs my domain, just been to busy to do it (busy deleting spam, lol). -- My Blog. Because I desperately need the acknowledgement of others.
