Tell me about spews.  Someone months ago spamed from my providers network and now
mail from my system gets blocked, even though I HAVE NEVER SPAMED anyone.
I have taken an intense dislike for all of the RBLs out there.

For me a combination of spam assassian(sp) and spamcop work just fine and it is
very rare for me to ever see any spam at all.  The false alarm ratio is
about 1 to 150.
