Would be great if the IP-Blacklist (or another Blacklist) could handle also connecting hostnames given by the reverse lookup. There are some dynamic-ranges we never received legitimate mails from, but a lot of spam (often not in MAPS-Servers we use). It seems hostnames like *.dsl.verizon.net, *.client2.attbi.com are more firm (and easyer to add) than their subnets.

Frank,
Have you tried RegEx's in the From Domain BL?
Fo example, and I have not tested this, but the domains you list might block with the following:
*.dsl.verizon.net,
(.\.dsl.verizon.net)
*.client2.attbi.com
(.\.client(\d){1,}.attbi.com)

Dan,
I tried it now, but it dosenīt work.
It seems the From Domain BL process only the From header line, not the hostname/domain detected by reverse lookup (I remind of reading something about that here before).

No statement from Logsat?
I know you are working on fingerprinting - but in our case, we are alredy using satistical-, HTML- and phrase-filters on our main mailserver. Spamfilter is only used for blocking (and does a great job). But blocking based on revese lookup (something like *ipt.aol.com) would make things easier for us.

Frank, We had added the request to our wishlist, but are waiting to see how the statistical fingerprinting behaves before adding new features. The way we designed it also looks at all email headers, including source IPs. It is self-learning, so it could catch all emails missed by other methods. There may not be need for more blocklists, and are waiting until we have a stable version so we can find out. FYI, currently the keyword filter does not look at the reverse lookup result and/or the other smtp headers (except for the subject). Roberto
