[PLUG] Blocking e-mail by IP (was Fwd: NEW WORM - Friendgreetings.com mass E-mailer)

[Bill Thoen]

If I wanted to block all messages coming from 66.172.0.0 to
66.172.63.255 in my /etc/mail/access file without blocking
66.172.64.0 to 66.172.255.255, how would I do it? Adding just
66.172 blocks too much, but I don't want add lots of individual
IPs either. Is there an allow/deny scheme for filter e-mail with
the access file?
