Perhaps obvious, and perhaps in the FAQ Mark linked, but this sounds like a job for ipfw to me. I regularly get spambot subscription requests, and they go right in the firewall. (For example: "ipfw add deny tcp from 1.2.3.4 to any". You could add port 25, but I figure if they are so lax to allow email list spambots, I don't need to listen to them at all.) Generally, they're from countries I could care less about, but if they come from someplace "civilized," I may let their abuse address know. (Found via "whois 1.2.3.4", for example.) :::: Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
