Dear All,

Is it just me, or is it that once you give the Hilton Hotels chain your
email address they send out bucket loads of spam on an almost daily
basis, furthermore, the "Unsubscribe function" goes through the motions
but the emails keep coming.

I have added these to my access file on my mail relay, but I keep
finding new ones to add in, as they change the parameters of the spam,
does anyone have a rule or a set of access entries to hand that can stop
hilton hotels dead in their tracks?

hiltonemail.com discard
hiltonhonors.com discard
hhonorscrm.net discard
hilton.com discard

Regards

Pete

I'd look at the IP addresses these are coming from. I'd make sure they
belong to a "hilton" domain. Then I'd block them by IP address if
they're not "hilton".

I'd also recommend "REJECT" instead of "DISCARD". The former would let
them know that you aren't accepting their email any more, which might
make it stop. The latter doesn't give them that indication and they
might be assuming they are sending to an accepting server.
