That's true. > they are co-conspirators in the abuse with the Asian domains. That's hyperbolic. I like reading about conspiracy theories and the rest but in 99% of all cases, they are just nice stories and nothing more. > They are a total waste of time and space. Check http://www.apnic.net/info/faq/abuse/index.html for information on abuse. If you feel like (though it's strongly recommended not to do something like that), you can ban incoming traffic to ports 25,587 from the APNIC IP range on your mail server(*): 61.0.0.0 - 61.255.255.255 202.0.0.0 - 203.255.255.255 210.0.0.0 - 211.255.255.255 218.0.0.0 - 221.255.255.255 169.208.0.0 - 169.223.255.255 I repeat: It's *not* recommended. (*) That is possible in cases you own your own domain and the mail processing takes place in your own machine. I don't think that it will work in cases where the ISP mail server forwards traffic to the local mail server. Good luck. -- [ Quote #2 from groucho collection. ] Room service?
