Is there a way to have Shorewall communicate with the listing services (SORBS, Spamhaus, etc.)?

Another approach would be to block an entire range of addresses when a particular address does something you deem to be questionable. Aside from that, I am not sure how you would proactively block IP addresses before they communicate your router. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
