i think i'd prefer 216.242.0.0/16 ...

well, the best way (and the most complicated) is to set up your own rbl
domain and then use your MTA's features, the little proggie rbltest, or
something like spamassassin to do the rbl tests. i don't think you want
to parse received headers, and if, then Perl::Mail::Audit!

again, RBL. the problem is that you have n:m relations, n IPs in the
header, m to block. unless you want to overload procmail with O(nm), you
really want to employ other methods.

why can't you block with exim system-wide? and dman said that exim can
incorporate your own filters on a user basis... i don't know if it can
do that for IP ranges, but it's worth a try.

dman, any hints?
