It looks like there are lot of NZ based Zombies sending very large amounts of Spam ( much of it in German) to some ISPs.
This has really been going hard over the last hour.
I'm seeing adsl accounts at xtra, iprolink and ihug, xtra dialups etc etc.
And they are using NZ from addresses, we have had several complaint about the university sending large amounts of spam... Yeah, right!
As a related issue, how do people feel about a whitelist RBL of NZ mail servers, It looks like it's not good to just whitelist NZ IPs
Hmmm.... not sure if it would help much, you still need some way to decide if the other stuff is spam since there is no straight forward way for a mailer to decide if a source IP is in NZ or not. -- Russell Fulton, Computer and Network Security Officer. The University of Auckland, New Zealand.
