Would a large SMTP-DENY.TAB (4MB) not be a good idea? Will it slow down processing or use a lot of CPU or RAM? I have a list that I pull from https://www.malwareworld.com/textlists/suspiciousIPs.txt and was going to incorporate it but I was worried that it would slow down or crash SMTP processing.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: SMTP-DENY.TAB
Hi,
It would slow down your SMTP service. You are better using a DNS blacklist or blocking those at a firewall. You could make your own DNS blacklist as well (https://www.mailenable.com/kb/content/article.asp?ID=ME020271) if you could automate the import/update.
