Subject: [SAtalk] What Dynamic IPs rbl list?


 Hello!
 
 I was wondering what rbl lists you guys use to block dynamic IP ranges. I
 will use it on a gateway relay-only server, which makes anti-virus and
 anti-spam and then forwards messages to end server. It's a postfix box.
 
 The intention is to disallow any adsl, dial-up or dynamic/static address
 on such lines to send any mail to this server. I will have a separated
 smtp server for my customers... ;)
 
 I know, there are (few) legitimate servers running on xdsl sometimes,
 but I can white-list those.
 
 Thanks for any input.

dynablock seems to work pretty well and be pretty low FP..

There are some bugs/issues with it in SA where the trusted_networks does 
not get automatically set up properly, causing it to check all hops and not 
skip the first.. but when configured properly it works great.

Bad, bad, bad idea!!!

There are many many people running home networks in dynamic space who send
their mail thru their isp server. These will all get caught and trashed by
your plan. You better have a VERY good explanation why you just alienated
hundreds of current and potential customers when your boss asks why his long
term customers cannot get thru your filters. There is spam control and there
is political suicide, this is suicide. (Always let the mail recipient decide
what to delete)

Those will get in. I'll use those lists with postfix, not on SA. Those
guys who runs a mail server on such dynablocks, if, and only if, using
their isp smtp, will have no problem at all. There will not be a
Received: line on headers if, using their MUA, they connect to ISP and
send the message.

Those legitimate servers running on dynablocks, if properly configured
and not relay-open, may be white-listed.

 These will all get caught and trashed by
 your plan.

No, they will be REJECTed with an explanation message. It's different.

Agree, partially. We have sometimes 50-60% spam comming trough our
servers. One day it got 80% SPAM! This overloads our servers (some old
ones), our customers cannot pop their accounts from a dialup connection
- imagine a 30MB MAILBOX, not maildir, popped from a 56K modem.

I want to block those selling [EMAIL PROTECTED]@, asian porn, and such un-wanted
material, which represents about 50% of the traffic (pure guess). There will be some 
spam that will then be easaly downloaded by our customers and then filtered.

Um Bill.. I'm pretty sure he meant he was going to disallow dynamic-ip 
hosts to deliver mail DIRECTLY to his mailserver... ie: the ones that don't 
use their ISP server...

In fact, given his message, I can't possibly see how you can read that to 
include mail that was properly relayed via the ISP server

Bad, bad, bad assumption! :)

Again, I feel deleting ANY mail addressed to someone else is a very bad idea
and a liability for your company. What is spam to you might be a desirable
message to someone else. After all, some people really do want to enlarge
their private parts. Perhaps it would be better to enable user level control
over the filtering and let those who want to get all the mail to be able to
do so.

Speaking of blocking mail I already cannot send mail to your address,
its either invalid or your site is blocking email from my dynamic address
(going thru my isp's mailer)

Good, good, good idea!! :)

 There are many many people running home networks in dynamic space who send
 their mail thru their isp server.

Then, obviously, these people will not be affected. For, as you say, they
use their ISP server as smarthost. Otherwise, they should take a medal and
hang it around the guys who run dynablock.easynet.nl; for no DNSBL has been
so effective in blocking spam as this dynamic block list. I kid you not when
I say spam has been reduced by 90% and up!

I'm loving it so much even, that this morning I added the entire dynablock
zone to my DNS. BIND rose to a whopping 126 MB, though; so, maybe, for now,
I will stick to querying remotely. But loving it, I do. :)
