[cobalt-users] Blocking SPAM IP Ranges via GUI (RaQ3)?

[Barbara - <thebizworkers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all your tips and suggestions. I just added
the IP range to IPChains based on your tips and
examples.  :-)

I do have one question, I thought this would be a good
thing to know for furture reference.

/etc/mail/access file though as

Eat more bannas, I like that one. 

After entering this information into /etc/mail/access,
is this the correct command to rebuild the db?

makemap hash access < access

I'm just taking that command from this page which I
found tonight. It talks about the access file and how
to rebuild it after making changes -

Why only 128.134 for DISCARD and not 128.134.28?

That should stop them in their tracks. :-) Thanks
again for all your help.
