[Sysops-list] Fwd: abuse, SPAM, off-topic, jackass IDIOT moronic junk mail repeating harassment

[Vicky Shrestha]

Hi,

RBL is just one of the method. There are other methods as well to deal 
with different kinds of spams.

For instance for this maxjob guys, you can use spamassassin to give it a 
high score and drop the email as soon as it is recieved during SMTP 
transaction.

ISPs can also start ratelimiting outbound SMTP traffic. I would suggest 
blocking out port 25 inbound and outbound traffic for clients. They 
should only be using ISP's SMTP server and nothing else. If need arises 
for them to use their own smtp server hosted outside, just ask them to 
use port 465 or 587 for authenticated smtp over TLS or SSL.

I would really like to see these emerging nepali spammers to suffer like 
hell. Let them rot in jail. But for legal prosecution , we would require 
consultation from someone who is good in law.
