Found it. http://www.spews.org/html/S359.html Looks like im not the first one to have issues with this one. I Think its time to look into ways to block particular MTAs. Anyone know of an easy way to do this inside QMail? I was going to just use IPChains.... But if I could generate some sort of bounce that could be useful. :) At 20:17 25/05/2002 +1200, you wrote:

Has anyone successfully dealt with spam or abuse inside qwest.net ?

Check www.spews.org and www.spamhaus.org...

Blocks the from domain, not the MTA... Im already using badmailfrom to nail one particular spamming agent (discussed here more than once) but its a shame Qmail cant block particular MTA IPs automagically... rblsmtpd was suggested and i'll have to start looking at that, I guess. I never liked RBL lists... At 22:53 25/05/02 +1200, Chris Hellberg wrote:

From my brief reading of some Google results, it is possible to create your own local list.. That may be the way to pursue it. Now I need some free time. :) At 09:37 26/05/02 +1200, Michael Jager wrote:

Not knowing anything about RBL, maybe it is possible to make your own list?

Thats the feature I want - but in Qmail, not Sendmail. Ive not yet heard of anyone doing this with qmail directly though. At 10:08 26/05/02 +1200, Philip D'Ath wrote:

If you are just wanting to "blacklist" some people locally, and you are using a recent version of sendmail, then I suggest you look at using the "access" file. This does exactly what you are asking.

Example entries are: Spam.com REJECT - Outright reject mail from this domain

Spam.com DISCARD - Accept mail from this domain, but silently discard it

Spam.com 550 You are the weakest link. Good bye. - Outright reject mail from this domain, but give a personalised reason why.

Well, they do have their uses for at least small sites like my personal one. I drop as much mail[1] as I can from .kr and .cn, like this, with Exim 4: dnslists = relays.visi.com :\ kr.rbl.cluecentral.net:\ cn.rbl.cluecentral.net -- Juha Saarinen [1] That should read "spam from open relays" of course. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
