Chris,

Yes. That makes sense. I knew there had to be a way. Thanks for the help.
The most offending address is 210.133.28.162.

Thanks,
Aaron

It's easy to block mail from a specific host. Let's say its IP address is
1.2.3.4.

You can deny the connection in your tcp rules file:

1.2.3.4:deny

Or you can block it with rblsmtpd (even if it's not listed in RSS or ORBS or
whatever you're using) with this in your rules file:

1.2.3.4:allow,"RBLSMTPD=-Go away, fathead!"

What's the IP address of the host that all this spam is coming from?

Chris
