No problem. Just be aware that doubleclick is very invasive and they have
more servers than Davy Crockett (done in my best Forrest Gump impression).
You may have to add doubleclick.org, .gov, or .whatever before you get it
*all* blocked. If you have outpost, I'd block it there as well in the
content/blocked sites area. Too bad the IE options aren't as good about
wildcards as Outlook is.
