[RESOLVED] blacklist ip from email account

[1andyw]

Hi,

I am receiving a storm of advertisements with contrived return addresses. I normally just blacklist unwanted emails but these have me stumped. Each message comes with a different from address. One is:

[e-mail] dot info

How can I determine what address to blacklist? 😕

[1andyw]

Yep:

IP address:
93.170.249.166
Server Location:
Kratonohy, Pardubice in Czech Republic
ISP:
ALFA TELECOM s.r.o.

Guess I'm lucky I still have a hard drive.🙂

I have been receiving hundreds of unwanted spam emails from the "earsdistinguishingthem.com address. They "cleverly" change each return email address by adding numbers and other words to keep getting through. I have sent an email about this to the government, but until they shut this bunch of idiots down, how do we prevent their emails from coming through?
I did not see an answer in this forum.

The box is from my ISP (Verizon), comes with my personal dsl. The account only provides for blacklisting by email address. As long as they have figured out how to change the apparent return add with each message, I think I'm screwed.

Or you could switch to GMail to utilize Google's spam filters (with which I have been immensely impressed over time).

Gmail is sweet I never see any spam in my inbox. You can create filters to send to certain folders on gmail as well as review spam to make sure its not filtering out good stuff.

Also 1% full Using 116 MB of your 7606 MB - I have over 4k emails on my account dating back since gmail was only 1GB =D

Verizon has been unsympathetic.
Gmail sounds like good advice. I will follow up.

Thank you,

Andy
