Juha,
that's when you find out which subnets are Australian or NZ or whichever
countries/companies you want to allow connections from, and include them in
a separate list.
I agree with Eric's principle, but yes, it's a bit harsh to just block
entire IP blocks like that. I have a similar config, mine however includes
mostly nets where I have received spam from multiple hosts that specific
/24. I have certain CIDR listings that span over multiple /24's or over
multiple /16's, but they are in a severe minority.
You may want to go through your spam messages and start adding the host IP
addresses to a hosts-blacklist or similar, and run a sort on it once in a
while. If you note multiple hosts in the same /24 subnet, delete them and
add them to a nets-blacklist.
Works for me.
