Hello Scott,

        Thanks for the reply. well in forum you replied to Nitesh.
Actually he posted that separately unaware that I am communicating over
here. Tough just for your reference I am telling this.

Well is it feasible to block this range 69.6.0.0 to 69.6.79.255 as it
includes 20,066 ips. Though I have noticed that almost 99% of the junk
mails are coming from this ip range.

Thanks,

Yatin.

Actually, there's an easier way.  :)

If you go to 
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=!NET-69-6-0-0-1&server=whois.a
rin.net 
(the IPWHOIS lookup for 69.6.0.0), you'll find a list of the CIDR ranges

involved:

69.6.0.0/18
69.6.64.0/20

So all you need to do is add those two ranges.  There's also a CIDR tool
at 
http://www.DNSstuff.com that you can use to find out that 69.60.0.0/18
is 
also 69.60.0.0 netmask 255.255.192.0, and 69.6.64.0/20 is also 69.6.64.0

netmask 255.255.240.0.

Hopefully, that will save you a bit of time entering in the IP ranges.
:)
