Does anyone have a better method > than adding lines to `access' every time I get a mail I don't like: I've been blocking a /16 every time a spam comes in from Korea. (And other countries, but mostly they are from Korea.) I also add the spamvertised domains, which are frequently not identied with the .kr TLD. Additionally, I use SPEWS (http://www.spews.org), although it doesn't catch a lot of the Korean spam. My opinion of what /etc/mail/access should contain as of today is available at http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/access It's fairly large; don't use it as-is unless you've scanned through it. For instance, I reject mail from yahoo.com. FreeBSD content: I like the "make maps" shortcut--update /etc/mail/access and do "make maps" and it's in place. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
