spam list ...was GCC 3.2.2 build error on Solaris 9 x86

["J.D. Bronson" <jeff at xpec dot com>]

Sorry about this....but in using this list for over 4mos, this is the 
*first* false positive we received. Really....the very first!

It has killed off tons of spam (along with using RBL).

We dont know anyone in virtually all the countries listed (like .ru example)
and therefore dont plan on accepting email from them at this time...

I do have bypass email addresses in place, and of course can allow any 
legit tld or domain in...

I can certainly edit the file and allow .at in :)

the spam list may be a radical solution, but it has seriously stopped 
spammmers. I am very thankful to them for this list.

Sorry about the rejected email.
