bad_brain's spam blacklist - updated Oct. 13

[bad_brain]

this list contains IPs (also whole ranges) that can be used to deny spam already on the mail server, I will update it regulary by adding the IPs of the spam received on 3 independent servers with about 200 email addresses.

how to use the list?
depends on the mail server, here's an example for using it on an Exim mail server with splitted config files.
the config file that has to be edited is config_check_rcpt, it can be found in the /conf.d/acl directory of your Exim installation:

Code: Select all

  # deny bad sites (IP address)
  # CONFDIR/local_host_blacklist holds a list of host names, IP addresses
  # and networks (CIDR notation)  that should have their access denied to
  # The local host. Messages coming in from a listed host will have all
  # RCPT statements rejected.
  #
  # The explicit white lists are honored as well as negative items in
  # the black list. See /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/default_acl for details.
  deny
    message = sender IP address is blacklisted here. If you think this is wrong, get in touch with the admin.
    !acl = acl_whitelist_local_deny
    hosts = ${if exists{CONFDIR/local_host_blacklist}\
                 {CONFDIR/local_host_blacklist}\
                 {}}

to make it easy simply replace CONFDIR with the path where you will place my blacklist file...that's all.
get the file here: local_host_blacklist
