why not ACL the source at your router or at whatever device is being (packeted). Mr. Lopez is contributing to the welfare of the net as a whole by addressing

OK, you don't know much about Spamhaus. Dealing with network abuse issues is what we do 24/7. John Lopez contacted my privately and I've given him the address of TurkTelekom's security guy, but the reality of things is that today is a Saturday and tomorrow is a Sunday, unless TurkTelekom's guy is working weekends (unlikely) ACL'ing the source is not just an advisable option but is probably until Monday the only option.
