I think he is
saying he already has him banned but is trying to
stop the constant
connection attempts.
"our blacklist and they try over and
over and over again"
RBL will not
help.

Use real time black lists (RBLs). This server
is already listed in http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=66.102.225.21.
So far I have no problem with ORDB and osirusoft. Even with Sieve running
RBLs are stopping huge amount of spam. During a normal day RBLs allowed my
server to reject mail from 4459 unique ip addresses. Theses addresses
were rejected for a total of 92814 times during that 24 hours period. I use
ORDB as the first list and osirusoft as the second. ORDB stopped 32479
attempts while osirusoft stopped 60335. Osirusoft may generate some false
positives. My idea is that you use RBLs when they are solving problems, and
stop when they cause problems.
Thanks you,
Adil

* This is the vopmailbeta mailing list

In the past few days we have gone from an average of
20-30 thousand
messages a day to 300-400 thousand. We have
one SMTP host that is on
our blacklist and they try over and over and over
again. Is there
anything I can do to keep these guys from typing up
resources on my
server?
66.102.225.21 (blk2.net1-21.nuhosting.com):
192846 blocked attempts
66.102.225.22 (blk2.net1-22.nuhosting.com):
201672 blocked attempts
We are running VopMail 5.3 on a Windows 2k box
(SP2)
Thanks
Robb Bryn
