The firewall blacklists the offending IP within 10 hits but then it rotates to another IP in a different location just as quick. There is one primary IP address 71.177.252.152 which is also doing a massive dictonary attack but the ower of that net block have no interest in turning it off, and I couldnt be bothered with Verizon anymore beside blacklisting another IP block. FYI, When I moved to Perth I removed a lot of blacklisted IP ranges, its only taken a couple of months for large chunks of Germany, Romania, China, Vietnam, Ukraine, USA, and Myanmar to be added back to the IP Blacklist :( One surprise is that the Canadian spam ops appear to be under control, this time around not a single Canadian IP range has been added back, they must be using o/s proxies :o) Cheers Ian Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 00:26:56 +0800 (WST) From: "Ian Manners" Subject: Re: large drive support ?
