Isn't 192.168.* a class "B" that's not even routed over the net so you
shouldn't have to worry about blocking it?  Same goes for 10.* (and
172.16.* if memory serves me correctly).  It may be that some ISPs use
non-routed IPs for services for their clients before their packets get out
on the net so be careful what you block.  I know that from my cable
connection from home my packets get handed off through a bunch of 10.*
routers before they actually get out on the net.

On the topic of spam I think I am going to block any mail coming from a .ru
domain.  I have yet to see anything legitimate and the blackhole lists are
filled with .ru entries.

Just my two cents.
