I hope this mail does not go out twice.
Accidently used the wrong mailer.

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
