  • Subject: Blocking certain addresses.
  • From: rob@xxxxxxxxx
  • Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 09:23:58 -0500


We have several major customers.  One company is stuck on Microsoft
Exchange.  The poor b*stards generate more virus's than a crack wh*re.  We
get email from them with addresses like hahaha@sexyfun.net  normally
containing an attachment containing a virus, such as the attachment named
dwarfs.scr.  (Now there's one for the imagination!)

We are trying to block these emails.  So we went into the Configuration
document, Router/SMTP, Restrictions and Controls, SMTP Inbound Controls,
Inbound Connection Controls and set up:
 ------------------+--------------------------- 
  Deny connections  zepmfg.com; sexyfun.net;    
  from the          very.slowmoe.com            
  following SMTP                                
  internet                                      
  hostnames/IP                                  
  addresses:                                    
                                                



The problem is that we are still getting these emails.  Do we have
something wrong in our setup or is it because their email is saying it is
coming from hahaha@sexyfun.net but it is really coming from someone else?
If so, how do we combat that?

I fear that the really sharp people who may help me probably have this
message blocked because their thought police block out any email with the
word sex in it.
