I don't know why, but I always forget how dedicated spammers are to
disrupting our world. Regular mail server has 25 open as not all domains
hosted on it are scanned by mailscanner. I suppose I could send them all

Guess I'll come up with something... Thanks Julian, you're always on the
ball. (Especially when the stupid simple answers evade us.)
