Blacklisting China

[Jim Carroll]

Hello

Please forgive my stupidity. Is it possible using SpamCop mail to blacklist
any mail originating in or relayed through any domain in China?

Many spammers utilize China as an intermediary, it seems, and many Chinese
postmasters refuse SpamCop reports. I don't know anyone in China, so it's
unlikely I'd lose anything but spam by doing this.

Is this feasible?

Thanks in advance.

I don't use SC mail, so I don't know what blocklists are available, but
if there is access to the blackholes.us filter for .ch, you could pick
that - china.blackholes.us

You mean .cn, don't you?

.ch is Switzerland.

You are correct, ma'am -- silly me. I think I was getting ready to type
china and then switched gears and ground [grinded?] them because the
brain clutch didn't properly disengage.

Switzerland is .ch because it is Confoederatio Helvetica

Yes, SC has a blacklist for all of china

It is listed as:
China (the country) cn.rbl.cluecentral.net www.cluecentral.net/rbl/

Just select it in your Options->Blacklists and be done with them

If I had remembered that SC was using cluecentral's instead of
blackhole's, my search would've worked

[advanced google web on the forum and the blocklist]

I wonder what was the thinking for SC choosing cluecentral's over
blackhole's.

Yeah, but as you know, I'm not into the spoon-feeding, and that
there is so much other data in the FAQ for other questions not
yet thought of...

And as you also noticed, I had to ask for help to even get this
data "out" .... Actually haven't clue if that list is still valid or
anywhere near complete .....

That'd be a JT thing <g> I know that some of the lists
offered were based on user requests.
