Does anyone use spamhaus drop list ? http://www.spamhaus.org/drop/index.lasso
i do.
I'm glad to listen opinions or experience.
no false positives yet. mostly seems to drop inbound tcp/53.
Waving a dead chicken over your computer will have no false positives too.
Is it a placebo or does it actually have an effect?
Although very little good or bad will come from those networks, just like the various BOGON lists, the Spamhause DROP list does require maintenance. If you don't have a process in place to maintain it even after you are gone, proceed with caution.
If you do have a process in place, not only for routing but also for your new customer order process, it is a useful source of information.
I had to get rid of some people who notoriously brought my exim down. Here is my personal list: 212.22.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 218.174.212.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 218.167.73.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 62.227.222.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 219.91.64.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 219.91.92.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 122.116.17.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Dont copy it without knowing what you are doing. I did not mind losing something. I lost all spammers using my system as a relay. I did not find any of my routes in the DROP list. No good for me. I remember friends telling me they got rid of SpamHaus because it killed too many legal emails - but that was not the DROP list. My router keeps telling me - the more routes, the slower it gets. I guess with 120 routes it gets slowly enough for all spammers to time out :) Remember the US is a republic. The UK is an old-fashioned monarchy and their legal system might not be compatible with what you expect :) Kind regards Peter and Karin -- Peter and Karin Dambier Cesidian Root - Radice Cesidiana Rimbacher Strasse 16 D-69509 Moerlenbach-Bonsweiher +49(6209)795-816 (Telekom) +49(6252)750-308 (VoIP: sipgate.de) mail: peter@echnaton.serveftp.com mail: peter@peter-dambier.de http://iason.site.voila.fr/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/iason/ http://www.cesidianroot.com/
