this is a technology choice. my own choice would be RPZ rather than RBL, since i'd want to poison an IP address no matter what it's used for, and not limit it to e-mail as we did with the RBL (now called DNSBL).
I agree with Paul's comments in their entirety, but wish to emphasize this point in particular. An IP address emitting spam is declaring its hostility; it's prudent to presume that it may, at any time, begin to emit other forms of abuse or attacks. It's therefore reasonable to treat it as an enemy -- because it is, and moreover, it's done us the favor of overtly declaring itself so. ---rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
