On Friday, it was brought up about the forged headers, and you mentioned about the new feature that was going to be added over the weekend. You work entirely too much! :) That got me thinking about sending it to the IP instead.
The way I see it, if there is a lot of virus or other activity coming from an IP, I would want to block that. But to be fair, I would want to somehow let them know. After all, maybe they do not know what is going on. Of course, I would like to do this as automatically as possible. My thought, if I could send the virus notice to the IP address, then if I keep receiving from that IP after a period of time, I would then blacklist it. Comments? Let's see; reply from Len: Imgate.

You can do that (by using an E-mail template file with "To: postmaster@[%REMOTEIP%],abuse@[%REMOTEIP%]"). However, it seems that most mail server admins aren't set up to accept mail to the IP address (or if they do, it doesn't go anywhere). FYI, the new release of Declude this morning lets you disable specific notifications based on the virus (such as disabling the notification to the sender of the Klez virus, while still notifying the recipient), so this shouldn't be as much of an issue. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
