They appear to be an increasing source. Those and Vietnam are currently
popular. So I block the data centres/coloc IP ranges.

Blocking of individual IPs is automatic and is for all ports. It usually
lasts for about 4 to 6 weeks. Manual blocking is usually of IP ranges
and usually permanent but restricted to ports 25 or 80.

I want is a quiet life :-)
