There's no patching and reinstalling to do (unless you want to use relays.mail-abuse.org, which requires a small patch only to rblsmtpd). Just change the script you run your SMTP service with to use rblsmtpd, and you're done. It's certainly a lot less work than constantly updating your tcprules list. Chris PGP signature

They're a huge source of direct-to-MX spam. That, however, is also available in an RBL-style lookup. You don't actually need to patch and reinstall to use rblsmtpd, anyways. > Or is this a completely stupid idea??? Not necessarily. For me, it's quicker to just ignore spam, or have some fun and report it to SpamCop to see how fast the spammer gets shut down.

RE: Spam IP master list?
Most of the "big chunks" of spam come from big guys utilizing little guys' servers as they find them open to relay. So you're best off using the various MAPS lists, especially the RSS (relay spam stopper).

Kindof an offtopic question, but is there a "Master List" of IP's that send spam regularly, with which I could use to update my tcprules deny list? I really don't want to patch & reinstall qmail with the RBL... (and it seems ORBS went away...) Besides, I'm really only looking to stop "the big chunks" with something I can personally manage.

No need to recompile either. rblsmtpd just drops in between tcpserver and qmail-smtpd in the supervise script... -Johan -- Johan Almqvist http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/ PGP signature

Use rblsmtpd (part of ucspi-tcp) and you need not patch or reinstall. -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | #exclude Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX |
