Hi Steve,

Ah, I didn't know about the phx.gbl thing.  This implies that the spam is being created organically  by hotmail/live customers, right?

I'd rather not use a user-specific filter, there are about 350 other users on this MTA, most without local accounts.

Interesting problem, thanks for your help.

Regards,
Lew
