I was not doubting that. What I was trying to highlight is that so few of those come back to the server. Hence, putting the IPs in the firewall may not be worth the effort. > *** an important network security role is: block as early as > possible if you can *** Agreed. That's why I put them in the firewall. Problem is that so few IPs sent packets after the one time they tried to send spam through assp that the firewall IP list was being clogged with IPs from assp that no longer sent packets to the server. > Don't trust any statstic you haven't falsified yourself. :-) My box, my statistics.
