I am using Account Level Filtering to block spam. I recently found that most US spam comes from IP ranges, so I am trying to use "Matches Regex" to block the ranges. My example below is the Regex to block range 198.46.152.0 to 198.46.152.255: \b\[198\.46\.152\.(?:12[0-7]|1[01][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])\]\b Here is my filter.yaml content: match: matches opt: or part: $message_headers val: \b\[198\.46\.152\.(?:12[0-7]|1[01][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])\]\b I've tested the regex and it appears OK. My question is : Does the rule look correct?

  Hello :) Have you considered blocking the IP range under "Access Lists" in "WHM Home " Service Configuration " Exim Configuration Manager", or do you only have cPanel access on this server? Here is a regular expression you could try for the IP range you referenced: ^198\.46\.152\.([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1([0-9][0-9])|2([0-4][0-9]|5[0-5]))$
  Thank you.

  Thank you so much. I do not have access to the server. I will try in Account Level Filter.
