I am running qmailrocks mail server and have not found a good answer to this question for blocking IP instead of just processing the spam emails and overwhelming my server.
Is there someone with a script to modify qmail-scanner-queue.pl or another script to run /sbin/iptables to block a spam IP address on the first flagged email, then maybe remove blocks from iptables after a day. I know the number of ip addresses is huge with the viruses/spyware out there so I find blocking the ip works great and I would rather have a user with a fals positive contact me and I can unblock quickly or create a secret web page they can visit that will remove they block. My server is getting overwhelmed by spammers with 10K emails in an hour, blocking countries has helped but not a very good fix. I am an ASP/VB programmer would like bash or perl script that could run or a direct mod to qmail scanner would really work great. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/use-iptables-to-block-spammer-tf4898640.html#a14030467 Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
