I believe IANA has the master list of IP blocks that lists where they are assigned to (high level): http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/ipv4-address-space Unfortunately this list doesn't offer the necessary granularity to allow someone to block addresses in Korea and China. The closest you can come here, it would seem, would be to block the entire Pacific Rim. What about APNIC? -Stephen-

Just remove that mailbox and make sure each user has a .qmail file and those messages will be bounce. As to denying the servers they are using, I have been watching them. They originate from a different address that traced to .kr or .cn or some other unfriendly country, so you can't email their provider to turn them off. They also relay from a different relay each time. Every time they start these campaigns I get their spam for a few days, then every email address on their list gets 10 times the spam for a while. I am considering screening out ALL .cn and .kr mailservers. Is there an easy way to do that? Ed Weinberg, Q5 Comm, LLC.

Re: Spam Removal
Hi, ... I am considering screening out ALL .cn and .kr mailservers. Is there an easy way to do that? how about the badmailfrom-file. I think append/inserting .cn and .kr to/in that file and all mails from that top-level domains will be rejected. Regards, Ruprecht

You're better of using tcpserver's rules file to block by domain address, assuming they don't have false DNS entries to hide their origin, in which case you would need to block by IP address. -- Nick (Keith) Fish Network Engineer Triton Technologies, Inc.

I have faxed in removal requests, emailed them, phoned them and they still will not remove my domains. I realize this is like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped, but --- as a general rule, you *never* reply to To Remove, Send Us An E-mail lines in a piece of spam. As you have now painfully discovered, 90% of the time that information is used to send you yet more spam. For the spammer, it's a confirmation that the address they have is valid. -Stephen-

I would like to setup some sort of spam removal but i would also if possible like to take some sort of legal action. Ahh . . . if only we could sue them, think of the money to be had there. In all seriousness, just throw their mail server's IP address/block into your tcpservers' rules with a deny parameter. -- Nick (Keith) Fish Network Engineer Triton Technologies, Inc.
Re: Spam Removal
I have already done this and yes i do have pop b4 smtp setup and running so i am not asking about me being a relay as some people on the list think. Does anyone know a good how to or site where i can get info on rejecting all mail that is not addressed directly to me or my users ? ie so if it get mail like i did earlier that was sent to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will just delete it or send it to a bulk mail folder ? I know that hotmail and excite have features like this so it should be possible i belive .
