Another option is to try out Peter Moylan's Weasel server, available
from Hobbes, although not in the latest version. If you get that then
you can get the latest from his ftp site in Oz.

It can block hosts and domains and allows reasonable flexibility. The
only thing I don't like is that it can take a while to notice going on
line, it looks for a file called online which you can copy into the
appropriate place on connection. I'm trying to get him to add in a
kick.exe type program to do the same as sendmail -q. I've tried the
sendmail 8.9.1 port and it's a bit flakey. The author has vanished too,
which is never a good thing.
