There are variations on that question. Suppose you get spam from an IP Address. Do you block the address, or continue to examine each message? If you block, do you block at the mail server or the firewall? Or maybe just block the sender. Suppose you block an IP Address. How long should that block remain in place? If the source is a legitimate mail system with a phished account, you want to unblock as soon as the spam stops. If the block is for a spam friendly ISP there is a good chance that spam will start again as soon as enough receivers have removed their blocks. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
