But dnsbl/s block on the basis of where it comes from rather than what's in 
it (which is the basis of the filter we would need - as I'm sure some of the 
contacts we have made would have possibly/probably been on dnsbl/s due to 
their being in China et.)

permutaions, it would take forever to programme it all in

Hmm..... Not sure how I would achieve that on a laptop that connects to the 
internet via routers on work/home networks. I don't think I can install a 
proxy on either of the routers.
