After blocking some fifty or sixty hosts in South Korea and China, I finally had to get proactive. It's not really up to me to convince them that there's a problem; I figure if their customers can't send mail where they wish, that eventually they'll realize that *they* have a problem that needs to be addressed. Nobody likes being on an isolated intranet, and I think that should be the natural consequence of being an inconsiderate netizen. | If someone can block the legitimate spams to the list (from freebsd group) | atleast and prevent mails from that address alone ,would save us :) Well, I don't think the FreeBSD lists should necessarily be as aggressive about spam as I've been---but I have to admit that I wouldn't mind. If I were a customer of some ISP, and I lost a valuable resource because my ISP was ineffective at controlling spam from their site, I'd switch ISPs. Eventually, the ISP would get the hint.
