What does your system show when you type 'host <ipaddress>'? For instance, over
here I see this with the host command:
~host 213.180.204.62
62.204.180.213.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer yandex.com.

Yes, I use that line as well. It obviously wasn't enought though yesterday. :(
I use that line above, and also this one (again, all on one line):
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m string --string "yandex.com" --algo kmp -j REJECT
Three times yesterday, one of my users tried to upload his replies and was
unable to.. As I said that's when I went digging for a way to restart bbbs.
Take care,
Janis
