Interesting - but with RBLs you sometimes have innocent senders tarred with the same brush as the spammers, so if it's problematic to ban based on the RBLs.
rbl blocked >1000 posts the 28th and >600 yesterday. I correspond with several people who have isp's listed and just add them to /etc/postfix/access and they have no problem with refusals :^)
Count on it, some law office in Brazil will send an urgent and business critical message, and be banned due to an unfortunate choice of ISP. Managers will be angry. In a number of environments we've removed RBLs as a front line sanity check because, like SPF, they sometimes block important and legitimate messages. In other words, we're decided to use SPF and RBLs as factors in spamassassin scoring, rather than a binary decision at the perimeter. The other sanity checks are already enough to block more than half the attempted messages from even getting to the spamassassin servers.
For home use fail2ban is probably fine though - aunt myrtle won't complain if her message is delayed.
guess you just need to use the abilities of postfix :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
