ajmevans Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 It seems that most spam comes from foreign TLD's..seeing I (like many others) do not regularly communicate with people in china, russia, korea etc is there a way to filter mail so you only get the TLD's you love and know (COM, NET, ORG, GOV!!, INFO) plus maybe a way to add friendlys..(CO.UK) java scri_pt:emoticon('',%20'smid_18')
Wazoo Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Is this really a "Reporting Help" topic? Nope ..... headed to the Lounge area. Intersting to note that the attempt to embed some code was intercepted by two separate filter actions.
Telarin Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 If you have a mail server or mail software that supports DNS based blocklists, there are a number of them out there for almost any country you can think of. Just do a google search for "Korea DNS Blacklist" or whatever country you are having problems with. Personally, I block Korea, Japan, Brazil, and China at the server level, and that seems to account for about 80% of the spam that makes it past my other BLs.
Wazoo Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 If you have a mail server or mail software that supports DNS based blocklists, I really expect not, based on the way I read it .. wanting to (for example) "only 'allow' an e-mal 'from' anywhere based on the From: being a .COM TLD" .... the initial argument was going to be that nowehre is it 'written' that a .COM is limited to existing only within a certain "location" .... and in contrast to the description offered, it's very rare that I see any spam that is "from" a contry specific TLD .... So basically, the point was going to be to point out that the From: really doesn't matter, it's the IP address .... which then leads one back to your suggestion ....
