This is correct - although I'm not sure the AND is necessary, but it does
seem to be working. I can't remember now if I had problems with only OR's
and then a NOT, or if the problems of catching all mail showed up when I
tried to do multiple instances of NOT and NOT AND. And on that topic, the
other key thing is to not do several NOT instances, but put all exceptions
into a single line:

(*cyberhomestead.com*|*mail2.ymlp.net*|*web-hosting.com*)

I'm not sure if the parentheses are needed or not, as I've seen it shown
both ways, but it works this way, so that's good enough for me.

And now with this, I can use more aggressive RBLs, and just pull out the
domains that I want through.

(I host some public list serves, and I have caught a few users with the
spam, which I hate doing to them, even if they are using bad ISPs).
