	We check for the "%" character and block that since some older SMTP servers have bugs/security holes that cause them to be open relays if they see that. However for the "" that should only cause a non-delivery, since most likely you don't have a user with the "" in the email address. ...or are you referring to a sender with the "*" in the address?

	No .. The RCPT TO. I am seeing a huge increase in attempts to send to things like ***dan@mydomain.com and yes, they get blocked but also quarantined. Dan

	Sounds interesting. How about modifiying the blacklists so to allow quarantine selection on each line. eg keyword blacklist: (keyword, quarantine) blockthis_dont_quarantine, false blockthis_do_quatantine, true Roberto, hope this didn't scare you?

	No scare at all. Let's wave the magic wand... Done. Take a look at the readme.html. below is the description for one entry. There are a few more (but not the keywords...) that allow the use of a NULL option to bypass the quarantine. Blacklisted Domains - You can keep a file with additional Domains that you want to blacklist (based on the MAIL FROM field) by entering them below below. Enter one domain per line, wildcards (* and ?, same rules as DOS wildcards) are allowed. You can also use Regular Expressions (RegEx). If the file does not exist it will be created. The file is reloaded every minute. The contents of the file will be loaded in the memo box, allowing you to make changes to the file. This list supports the :NULL option to send emails in a black hole. If an entry is in the form domain1.com:NULL it will cause all emails from domain1.com to be accepted and then sent to NULL right away. Such emails will not cause NDRs, they will not be quarantined, they will not be seen by the users. If an entry is in the form domain1.com:NoNDR such emails will not cause NDRs as in the DoNotSendNDROnQuarantine parameter in the ini file.
