BlackList - Something simple

Yes that makes sense now... I was confused by the fact it said: "This can also be the filename of a ruleset."

I am a silly billy...

I have found out how to do it at MTA level now... and will see if it works... initial tests show it does. I need to test it works for addresses that are normally then forwarded on to an Exchange server behind the firewall.

Though rather than REJECTing/DISCARDing them... I was looking to store them for a while to study what sort of spam we were receiving.
