1) How do I pick one where the expectation is that I will almost always block the spammers?
2) How do I use them from a Perl script working with actual packets thrown up to user space? 3) How can I keep this simple so that a novice Perl user will be able to do what I'm doing, granted, I need to get better with Perl? So how does one maintain a DNS blacklist? Do the IPs in the list have to be aged? Is it enough to have a web page where blocked site admins can send an email requesting clearance to get through? My blacklisting philosophy right now is simple, I blacklist any IP that spams me. A curious question, shouldn't I be able to look up any IP that is claiming to be a mail server via the DNS system? My thought is, I can ignore infected personal computers if there are no DNS records listing them as legitimate email servers for legitimate domains or better yet no IP records at all. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
