Re: iSeries Navigator Spam blocking?

Opt-In Enterprises?  Wasn't that a company mentioned in the same Newsweek 
magazine of 11/24 that contained an article by Brad Stone?

Re: iSeries Navigator Spam blocking?






Hi Tony -

>Anyway, is there some way I can block the emails originating from
>(69.6.49.x) and (69.6.50.x) ip addresses?  I'm trying to enter them in 
the
>"connection restrictions" panel in OpsNav.  As long as I enter the

Those two netblocks, which belong to "Opt-In Enterprises" are:

69.6.49.0/24 aka 69.6.49.0 255.255.255.0
69.6.50.0/24 aka 69.6.50.0 255.255.255.0

I don't do this kind of thing so I'm don't know how you enter the ranges 
in 
OpsNav but probably using the second format.  (I'm with those who suggest 
that you do it at your firewall.)

Both of those ranges are under "WholesaleBandwith Inc."  You could 
probably 
block that entire netblock with what is often called "loseless 
compression".

69.6.0.0/18 aka 69.6.0.0 255.255.192.0

(This is not WholesaleBandwidth's only netblock.)

With a name like WholesaleBandwidth I wouldn't expect it to do much good, 
but they do have an abuse address listed of: abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
so you can register a complaint with them.
