we have 20 regex expressions that block mail directly from a
reverse dns that "looks" like a consumer broadband connection.
Then we have to maintain a whitelist on a case by case basis.
The reduction in unwanted email is on the order of 40 or 50
to 1. It obviously is not without its own pain so it may
