I like your [Ruud's] idea very much. Once spam is positively
identified as coming from a given SERVER-IP, then all mail coming
from that server could automatically be assigned a degree of
suspicion. Any legitimate email correspondents who mail is sent
by that server could be notified of the fact that their server is
a spammer.
Be careful about dynamic IPs. I use a large ISP (T-Online, with
several million customers), and I have on rare occasion had my
dynamically assigned IP address blocked by somebody who wasn't
as smart as he thought he was being. Very annoying.
I'd prefer a short-lived block of IPs, even one day only.
Spammers these days use zombie machines and switch IPs often.
That said, I have excellent spam blocking working with procmail-
only and no blacklists, either of domains or IPs, at present.
I am thinking of implementing a one-day IP block.
I do not run a server. I am merely an ordinary, unprivileged
user on my Unix shell system.
