I hope so, but I can't set 4h delay as legal senders and receivers are
going mad.

Idea is good but I almost cant use it, as like I said, also at least 70%
legal senders are using dynamic ip -s and this blocks them also and it's
no good. Maybe I should use some other (which?) DNSRBL server to let
pass the good ones (near countries) and block the bad (asia etc)?
