As a starting point, here is what I posted on the Wish List user forum on the web site: "We currently use the DNS blacklist capability in our GBflash systems with the ORDB and ORBZ lists. This has been a big help in dealing with the ever increasing barrage of spam. There are a couple of things that Id like to see added to the Gnatbox anti-spam aresenal. 1) Id like to have a local IP based blacklist on the Gnatbox that we can put our own lists of servers to block. I currently use a remote access filter on port 25, but that doesnt send the smtp reject, and it doesnt log the reject in the same format as the traditional blacklists. Id like the logging to be the same format since I have a script that summarizes the rejects. 2) Id like a local IP based whitelist. If an IP is on this list, the email proxy should pass it even if it would be flagged by the local or DNS RBL lists. Ive recently run into my first case of a email admin for a server we want mail from not being willing to close an open relay. BTW, it sounds like the MAPS folks have started to trademark stuff like "MAPS" and "RBL". While youre in there, it would probably be smart to change descriptions to the generic "DNS Black Lists" and "DNSBL" on the screens and log files. Gotta keep the legal weasels happy :-)" We've been averaging a bit over 500 emails bounced per day, with a max of something like 2200.
