Kathy, blocking individual IP addresses may get rid of annoying relatives, but it won't prevent spam. As I stated on here earlier, these guys use IP addresses faster than you and I use facial tissue. I suggest working with your ISP, and writing a few filters, containing some of the more common words and phrases. It's really not rocket science. Most of these guys aren't that original. You'll never get 'em all, but it's a start.

That might be true, and it's unfortunate, but again this list isn't to blame. Freelists, the company who provides the list has a strict spam policy. none of the people on this, or any other freelist list I'm on are spamming people and I don't think they ever would.
