Heard of MAPS? If not, check out http://www.mail-abuse.org/.

The MAPS people maintain a set of IP lists:

DUL - IP addresses known to be allocated to dialup users
RSS - IP addresses known to have open mail relays
RBL - IP addresses controlled by active spammers, or organisations
      tolerant of spammers.

This RPM configures the obtuse smtp daemon of e-smith 4.1/4.1.1 to refuse
to accept email from these addresses.

To enable use of the filters, set the service properties you want:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpd DUL block
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpd RSS block
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpd RBL block

then update the filters of smtpd:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update

The RPMs can be found in my contrib area
(ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/charlieb) at:

  RPMS/noarch/e-smith-obtuse-smtpd-maps-0.1.1-02.noarch.rpm
  SRPMS/e-smith-obtuse-smtpd-maps-0.1.1-02.src.rpm

Again, don't use on a mission critical server, don't walk on thin ice, and
enjoy.
