Thankx Alex , You been a great HELP !

I already have restricted IP'ies in my /etc/mail/access but they also count 
up2 about 6000 ip'z

So i m not totally Open Relayed at all - ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx RELAY )  Not like 
this

what does your 2nd Point do exactly ?

and about controlling the amount of mail sent per min - i m using feature 
great pause in sendmail .

but that wo'nt stop them completely can it ?
