13 Check those IPs against: www.robtex.com/rbl
14 Choose your favorite blacklists (test them, some of them provide too many false positives) and
15 implement with them DNSBL/RBL in your postfix. Also, SPF and greylisting make a good job.

17 Additionally, I recall a Netfilter/iptables module that does dnsbl, too, but... I'd not recommend it.
