    Subject: [CentOS] mail access list


    I just got through updating my /etc/mail/access file, adding
    about 20 more IP's that are sending spam/junk mail.  During
    the process, I noticed I had some partial IP's in there, like
    64.12.233 which is what I wanted to block.  The IP did NOT
    however get blocked.  From what I see, as long as I have a
    full ip address, they are blocked, but the partial (16) is
    not.  Should it not work anyhow?  Never had this problem
    before, and yes, I run a make on the file after editing.

    Don't know, but is 64.12.233 a typo?  Should it be 64.12.233. 

Yes, I was a bit bumble fingered. Actually, that IP was just numbers pulled out of the air. I've got everything from a /8 to a /24 blocked and inbetween.
