RE: Removal of IP

fisayo,

good day. pls I want to ask which watch-list program can one use to monitor a wireless access user on my network about spam issue?

Pls I will appreciate your help on this issue. for now we use windows200 server with microsft exchange as our mail server for all our wireless client but the mail server is still under configuration process, so what watch-list software can you advice we use to watch our wireless client?

and if any is guilty how do we block the public Ip address?, is by using a bandwidth manger to do that process or use the ip route on the cisco router which I tried once to use and is not working or is there any other way to do the process? pls help me out.

thanks

ajayi

We used to disconnect offending customers immediately but we reviewed
the policy as said earlier only for spams and all that. If it were to be
infections, yes it's immediate. We had to review the policy because of
some issues which have been raised earlier on this topic. The spam comes
from a customer (you get to see the single public IP) and it always
becomes a hell of problem when the customer tells you its not him but
probably a transit surfer. So the grace period is to kind of get to know
better. And ofcourse when u;re a repeat offender, you get the boot also
