That's the first place I looked.  Silly mistake though, my search string
I used was "/high scoring" instead of the correct string /High Scoring  :
'}

But that did the trick.  I'm stopping about 75% of the spam now.  I've
been reading the
bigevil.cf list recommends you mentioned and will put it on in the morn.
I'm shooting for filtering 90%+

BTW the "store delete" entry stopped this list. ???   Had to whitelist
in....  Is this an aberration to this list or can I expect clients will
loose access to their lists until I whitelist them?   :  '}

Thanks
