Another thing you could do is use the simple script i have running. It
can clean out your in and your out queue, i made it for bot h sendmail
and exim. If you have a IP in your accesslist with DENY it will lookup
the files of that sender and delete the according q* and d* files
automaticly. That will clean your queue for the offending IPs amazingly
fast. :) If you proceess the queue most likely you will end up in AOLs
spamblock in a few days.

If people are interested i can mail it.

Bye,
Raymond.
