   What does your system show when you type 'host '? 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
