Block whole address

[Mike Dunderdale]

If you're going to do the access thing, I suggest the following:

have a set of lines allowing your domain and connecting mail servers to
connect

connect:your.mail.servers             RELAY
connect:127.0.0.1                       RELAY
connect:your.domain.IP                       RELAY
connect:your.transferring.mail.server             RELAY

Add a line allowing abuse at yourdomain.com through even from spammers

To:abuse@       SPAMFRIEND

Add locally allowed email addresses:

From:im at notaspammer.com   OK

And then add the domains/spammers to be dropped:


From:spamdomain.com ERROR:"550 SPAM suspected. Falsely accused should  \
email abuse at yourdomains.com"


Hope this helps.
