+1 on this method but it looks as if the bot has nodes so those ips
need to be blocked also
you can do a range of ips by doing a CDIR notation IE 11.22.33.44/16
= 11.22.00.00 - 11.22.254.254
Be careful with this because you could inadvertently drop legit
mail.
More than likely if you check their country code where the ip
originates they are coming from some place other than USA.

This will stop him dead in his tracks.
You can use this command for any ip address that gives
you a problem.

Hi there list,
i have been under heavy traffic since sunday, and its been using
all my inbound connections.
I have a QMT updated box, running the latest spamdyke:
# qtp-whatami
/qtp-whatami v0.3.7 Tue Mar 1 21:14:03 ART 2011
DISTRO=CentOS
OSVER=5.5
QTARCH=x86_64
QTKERN=2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
BUILD_DIST=cnt5064
BUILD_DIR=/usr/src/redhat
This machine's OS is supported and has been tested/
Even though spamdyke does not let the spammers relay the mail, i
still get all the connections used, making it very hard for
authenticated users to send mail.
For now I stopped smtpd, but i wanna see if you guys have some
other thoughts to solve this.
If I see the maillog, i see LOTS of entries like these:

So i guess some botnet is trying to relay mail guessing a
specific domain user's passwords. Most of the attempts are
blocked by RBL checking, but that still create a connection.
