I just got through updating my /etc/mail/access file, adding about 20 more IP's that are sending spam/junk mail. During the process, I noticed I had some partial IP's in there, like 64.12.233 which is what I wanted to block. The IP did NOT however get blocked. From what I see, as long as I have a full ip address, they are blocked, but the partial (16) is not. Should it not work anyhow? Never had this problem before, and yes, I run a make on the file after editing. Sam -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

No, as far as I know and as long as I've been using the access list to help block spam and junk, I've never had to use the dot at the end before. Perhaps that has changed from previous versions of sendmail? Guess its time to read a bit. >Sam
