You're reading the correct section. The third and fourth paragraphs describe "reject-unresolvable-rdns", which is the filter that was triggered in your example. The text doesn't actually use the term "A record", instead saying that spamdyke "attempts to get an IP address from the name". When

That makes sense, but it's not what I read at http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#RDNS I don't see anything there about looking up a corresponding DNS A record. Is the documentation perhaps out of date? (or am I losing it?) ;) Do we perhaps need 2 parameter/rules? One for when the rD

Your example was not rejected by the ip-in-rdns-keyword-file filter. It was rejected by the reject-unresolvable-rdns filter because the rDNS name does not resolve to an IP address (a DNS A record). In other words, "ping ihsystem-65-182-166-90.pugmarks.net" will fail with "unknown host". -- S

I'll consider adding those options. I didn't make the filter too aggressive because of the risk of false negatives. But I might be able to add some kind of "level" option to control how loosely it matches the IP. -- Sam Clippinger Marcin Orlowski wrote: > Sam Clippinger wrote: > >> spamdyk

spamdyke looks for the IP address in many different formats. If the IP address is 11.22.33.44, it looks for: 11.22.33.44 011.022.033.044 11.022.033.044 (new in version 4.0.0) 11.22.033.044 (new in version 4.0.0) 11.22.33.044 (new in version 4.0.0) 44.33.22.11 44.11.22.

This behavior is correct. The "reject-ip-in-cc-rdns" option will only block a connection if it meets two criteria: 1) The IP address must be part of the rDNS name. 2) The rDNS name must end in a two-character country code. That's why you're seeing some connections being blocked -- their r
