in general blocking ips isnt the best and blocking dynamic ips is more then a stupid idea.


Hi Andreas,

to the contrary.
Why would a dynamic IP need to talk to my mailserver directly?
It's a zombie with almost 100% probability (and the rest are clueless idiots or broken software).
10-20% of my RBL-hits are dynamic ips.

The first Sober.Q that hit my mailbox came right through this mailinglist (and then some through the Squirrelmail-list). I didn't get a single one directly.


cheers,
Rainer
