Patches and other configuration issues
Got the latest ECO's and installed them - and that required a reboot. Took the opportunity to adapt SMTP.CONFIG to block *.hotmail.com (except for the few known persons using that account) because of the numbers of spam messages received from this account - like Gmail (by Google) and Yahoo. All .biz accounts are blocked as well, but still too much come through. Quite a lot of these adresses cannot be translated into a domain - an issue I could block but that would mean that some valid domains won't get through. Of course that could be solved by locating these translation within the local DNS but some use a number of mail servers and without the IP addresses of all of them, I still can loose messages. So I left it for now.
