Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, rule 1370762 was targeting the same address range.

If I may make a suggestion:
Before the spam-trap robots are allowed to block major, well-known and
easily recognizable email providers, how about the robot script pulls a
WHOIS and a Reverse DNS and runs that data against a table of "can't block"
entities - or at least spits those out for "human review".

If that can't be done, then how about the robots issue an hourly report of
"suspect" IPs. A no-brainer script can pull matching WHOIS and RevDNS for
quick human review and overriding (if necessary).

I would rather those obvious bad rules are caught before or very quickly
after they go live. There is always some delay before I get first reports
until I realize that this is a "real" problem. Then I have to try to get
headers from end-users before I can dig into logs... Hours and hours pass
(especially if it's overnight events). In the meantime the problem escalates
all around me.

Thanks,
Andy

This IP rule has been pulled.

FP processing will happen shortly.
