That's not "OUR" Brad Stone, is it ? CipherTrust engineer Steve Davis getting a "...message, masquerading as an important upgrade from Microsoft and carrying a virus, gets through the CipherTrust filter. The message is similar to a legitimate customer-service message, and thus impossible to detect by software that looks for betraying words or phrases. It was not sent by any known spammer, and CipherTrust hasn't seen any other messages exactly like it, so software designed to find patterns doesn't catch it either. In other words, an in-genious spammer somewhere in the world knows exactly what filters look for and has found a new way to evade them." Hmmm - I got those emails and SpamBayes caught EVERY ONE of them with NO PROBLEM... And it is a FREE plugin to Outlook. Granted, this is AFTER it gets through an email server but the technology SpamBayes uses works !

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 complete >email address (hundreds of them), it works. 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.
