Do you have any idea how BIG that list is ? ;lol

Static lists are really not a good idea except for certain really abusive
machines, you need to be thinking of using one of the dynamic lists, they
continually update the list, so you aren't blocking emal frommachines that
aren't sending spam anymore, and you get the benefit of the work being
done by other people adding machines that start sending spam.

Most of the dynamic lists aka RDL's are free, some aren't...
There are also free lists on sites that just generally send out spam
directly , look at http://relays.osirusoft.com for composite lists, other
RBL's are mentioned in the archives here and there...


Any static list of going to be outdated quickly, i recently cross checked
a list of machines that we found on a site selling spam services, over
half of them were dead, and the list was supposedly only a month old...

If you truely feel you must do it this way,here's one list, make sure you
understand what it's blocking...Do NOT blame me if you gag your mail
server!!!

[reject list]

ps: this is only a tiny name based list, and it's already getting dated
