OT: Spam from .info domains

2012-12-06 Thread Steve Hart
Sorry for the non-Exchange post, but it is email related. We're getting a lot of spam from .info domains. Even though most of it is filtered out, a couple of executive level users are seeing 3 or 4 a week get through. The only way to block all of these with our anti-spam system is to block all

I have been seeing the same thing for the past week or two. They were all coming from Romanian IP ranges. I was a bit scared to block all of .info so I blacklisted the following ranges: 176.126.168.0/21 31.14.0.0/16 93.112.0.0/13 94.176.0.0/15 37.156.0.0/16 89.32.0.0/12 92.114.0.0/15

We're back to being resolved, but I'm still perplexed. I renamed the folder in the exported PST file and then imported it into the Personal Archive. It has now been there for 2 days and has retained the policies and emails. We're now going to try renaming the folder in the Personal Archive

I have a couple of customers that use .info as their primary domains. I personally could not block that TLD. -Original Message- From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: Thursday, December 6, 2012 12:49 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OT: Spam from .info domains Sorry

This is the way we do it. There are large parts of the world that there is no way we will ever get email from them. Just block the IP ranges and be done with it. Chasing domains let alone tld's is a tough way to go. I went down this list and nuked APNIC for example, of course you have to look

Kurt raises a valid point. 3-4 per week out of how many emails? Stopping spam is like an exponential graph. The closer you get to stopping 100 percent of the spam the more legit email you will block. -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday,

I understand this argument and agree completely. Unfortunately the particular people involved are more interested in seeing their spam go down than they are in missing the occasional important email. I'm also getting complaints that their spam reports are too long. Makes no sense at all to

You'll need to point out to them that approaching zero percent spam comes at a cost of rejecting email from real paying customers. Ask them if they've ever taken a statistics course as part of their MBAs, and whether they understand the relationship between type 1 and type 2 errors - trying to
