[6bone] RBLcheckd (was Re: Nothing is sacred...)

[Todd T. Fries]

Everyone has a different peg and a different shaped hole to fit it when it
comes to MTA's and anti spam solutions.

Here's mine:
	
	http://FreeDaemonConsulting/tech/spam.php

In short, relaydb gets fed headers (being told this is a good message or spam)
and ends up with a list of good and bad relays.

More info about relaydb is available at:

	http://www.benzedrine.cx/relaydb.html

Feed this to the list fed into 'spamd(8)' on OpenBSD and you can block
addresses via pf.

I've a local diff set to update, but those interested I'll mail you with it
to enable 'spamd' in OpenBSD to deal with IPv6.

More info about spamd is available at:

	http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd

While I applaud any efforts to develop a list of IPv6 known spam hosts and/or
networks, I would want the ability to over-ride any settings as pertained to
my local settings.  So long as there exists an automated way to retrieve any
such lists, I can format them appropriately locally, and use spamd to block
them.

For anyone who wishes to get a demonstration of spamd in action, feel free to
telnet to 66.210.106.28 port 25.  It's not one of my mx hosts, therefore it
gets redirected to spamd automagically ;-)

Thanks,

| Let me gete back to you on the status at end of this week/somewhere next 
| week.
| 
| Thanks and groet,
