Subject: [Exim] Nice way to cut down on spam.
Hi All,

I am sure some people on this list will find this helpful- it sure has made
a difference for me. For the most part, I do not know anyone from China,
Korea, Brazil, etc, so with this link, I was able to block it with Exim.
Here's the link of assigned IPv4 addresses that IANA has allocated to the
public.

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space

Here's what I have in my config:

# 43/8  Japan Net
# 61/8  APNIC - Pacific Rim
# 200/8 ARIN - Central and South America
# 201/8        Central and South America
# 202/8 APNIC - Pacific Rim
# 203/8 APNIC - Pacific Rim
# 210/8 APNIC - Pacific Rim
# 211/8 APNIC - Pacific Rim
# 218/8 APNIC - Pacific Rim
