Thanks, Bill
Following is another report I just gathered:
Source IP Num messages
1 216.219.241.33 818
2 64.119.196.49 80
3 140.98.193.10 53
4 24.177.130.88 52
5 65.5.71.49 49
6 140.98.193.23 43
7 216.219.244.20 43
8 218.16.126.229 37
9 68.17.21.202 36
10 65.182.142.45 32
10461 other items 16,093
Total 17,336
I would assume too that with the 10, 461 other items that could eliminate a client
legitimately using our server for spamming. It would seem that if they were the IP
would be consistent.
We are going to start using www.ispservices.com for spam prevention. I find it is
affordable and works rather well.
