One option would be to add a filter to the ethernet interface that rejects port 25 from those two ip ranges.

Optionally you could also do this in your firewall.

I've been trying to block just 1, yes just one, spammer.  This is the most
prolific and dumbest spammer I've seen, with apparently two
complete class b
sets of IP addresses.  They keep changing...(69.6.49.x) and (69.6.50.x).

This really stupid spammer keeps sending me about 10-20+ emails
per day (on
a few email addresses) of non-compliant (malformed?) emails to my
AS400 smtp
server using Outlook as client.  The emails from "him" ALWAYS jam up my
Outlook client and I have to go find the email(s) and delete them before I
can download successfully.

I say really (really, really) stupid because I don't ever even see the
message since I can't download it. I've had IBM on this for a long time
(SEVERAL PMR's) and they can't fix it, even with dozens of
examples and 2 or
3 smtp traces.



The same type of thing is happening to me starting just this last week! I have yet to figure out which email is causing it though. I'm going to check for those IP addresses.
