[Modus] OT - block IP 66.252.21.186

[Jeff Willis - MIS]

I just started to block 69.6.0.0 /16  at the edge router for port 25. This entire block is in spamhaus and we gets spam from them by the tens of thousands and are blocking at the edge by tens of thousands this has reduced the load on the modus server   Jeff       ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Essary To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 16:33 Subject: [Modus] OT - block IP 66.252.21.186 At 06:24 PM 10/30/03, you wrote: We are seeing spamhaus catch most of this /24    207.134.164.* You might want to consider setting that /24 to reject all incoming mail Larry * This is the modus mailing list * just a heads-up about this IP...our modusmail server's cpu was pegged at 100%...finally noticed in the security tab monitoring that spamhaus had rejected over 6000 requests from this IP...i added the whole class c to our reject list and after modus caught up from doing virus scans the cpu is back to normal.
