Jules, I will have to look at the upgrade then.  It is the curse of using
Ubuntu.  I have a question that you indirectly inspired.  I want everyone to
understand that this is a short term solution.  I took the list from Google
and massaged it to it fit the format for use as the spam.blacklist.rule
file, is that any less efficient as far as MS is concerned?

As far as processing the list, it is not even remotely close to the ease of
use that your script does with an entry in cron.hourly.
