Thanks for the reply Jake.

I am very familiar with IP tables,
I am using you " firewall " built into the ISO installer.

So instead of adding many lines of IP addresses to the /etc/rc.d/firewall.ruleset, Can I add a line that will load a second file , say called "badip" which contains a list of firewall rules just for the bad IP`s.

Can you also show what to add to the tcp.smtp, in case I want to use that method

Any one tried using, Inter7`s tcpblocker?

Thanks

I have them send me the IP`s from the email headers,

1.Can I block spammers using IP address
2. Do I need to install sopamdyke to accomplish this

Thanks


There's been an increase in spam lately, according to my server's metrics. For habitual spammy servers, I block them in iptables. You can also block them in the tcp.smtp file.
