Like all the others, this seems to assume that I know what ip addresses
spam is coming from.  I don't, my clients can be ANYWHERE.  I need to
reject email based on their return or sending addresses, NOT the ip.  I
need to have a file with a list of "allowed" domain names.  If abc.com is
in the file, then mail to or from abc.com is allowed, REGARDLESS of
whether the sending machine is abc.com

I know this may sound a little testy, but I'm getting lots of email along
the lines of "hey, dumbass, use the rules posted on xxxx" when those
rulesets don't address my needs at all.
