I find such blacklists are rarely effective. Spammers typically use
one-shot addresses. You'll have to filter against relaying hosts, often
by IP.
Here's a question: I'd like to effectively block entire netblocks,
e.g.: the entire Ciberlynx netblock
Ciberlynx, Inc. (NETBLK-CIBERLYNX) CIBERLYNX 216.242.0.0 - 216.242.255.255
Go ahead and resolve the hosts -- the entire block is junk:
$ nmap -sL 216.242.0-255.0-255
...will "list scan" the range listed, essentially performing DNS lookups
on each IP.
...how would one do this via procmail, filtering on 'Recieved' lines?
Anything from this domain should be forwarded to a spam complain
addresses and shitcanned.
Better: how would one make an easy-to-use & update system to block
mails touching souch domains?
Peace.
