Hi,
I am running DNSBLs out of postscreen:
postscreen_dnsbl_sites = <secret>.zen.dq.spamhaus.net=127.0.0.[2..11]
<secret>.combined.mail.abusix.zone
Until recently those detected bots tried it a couple of times and gave up. Now,
there are a significant number of bots trying every couple of minutes over days
:-(
Normally I wouldn't care, but as I am using Spamhaus and Abusix low traffic
plans I pretty much scratched the daily limit of 5000 queries.
Thus I patched postscreen to tell blacklistd to block those bots as defined in
/etc/blacklistd.conf.
This works fine at my sites.
But before bothering the maintainer with a PR of my private interest I want to
ask here:
Anyone else interested?
Regards,
Michael
