OK, that's what I thought... I saw the FAQ on CIDR, but I was hoping that
Sendmail had been updated to allow this... 1 or 2 /24's are no problem, but
when you want to block multiple /8's it does become quite daunting. Guess
I'll have to find a better way to do this than the built-in Sendmail stuff.

Thanks!
