I don't think that's harsh at all Ned. I have a different solution: #CHEETAH (EXPERIAN) iptables -A FIREWALL -s 66.165.100.0/24 -j DROP #CONSTANT CONTACT iptables -A FIREWALL -s 63.251.0.0/16 -j DROP iptables -A FIREWALL -s 66.151.234.144/28 -j DROP iptables -A FIREWALL -s 208.75.120.0/22 -j DROP #dotmailer offenders iptables -A FIREWALL -s 80.87.10.0/30 -j DROP iptables -A FIREWALL -s 80.87.10.4/31 -j DROP iptables -A FIREWALL -s 80.87.10.6/32 -j DROP Any more ranges most welcome :-)
