IP Address Blacklisting

Friday 11th of December 2009 2:02pm

Block by ip address, group. There are so many faked email addresses and even content. I use a regular expression filter for entire header like this:

61.([0-9]{1,3})\.([0-9]{1,3})\.([0-9]{1,3})|62.0.8\.([0-9]{1,3})|62.39.2\.([0-9]{1,3})|62.99.([0-9]{1,3})\.|62.148.92.14[0-3]|62.149.72.6[1-3]|62.233.170.8|64.51.41.[0-3][0-9]|64.76.91.|64.202.123.199|66.178.239.98

But it gets old digging out all those Received from [IP numbers] from source view, pasting into a whois lookup to find out it is usually some radical country or same bunch of spam servers, finally adding to the fancy filter.. IP blocking is the only filter that seems to work when all else fails, especially when they fake friendly domains already on friends list.

Easily figuring out the actual sender's IP and adding to an IP blacklist can save new users the years I spent compiling a 98% successful filter list. I notice many are same IP's being reported by my website server too!

Now, if I can just figure out how to stop them emails with special characters from jamming up memory usage..

This would be a handy tool to have available, the next version does consider the IP address as part of the Bayesian function so that at least helps.

I would like to be able to set an IP filter based on the Regional Internet registry that issued the IP address in the "from" field of a Received block. For example, I am served by ARIN. I would like to have a last resort filter that blocks any mail that does not come from an ARIN IP address.
