   Is it from someone like Yandex that fills up your nodes?  That started   
   happening here.. so I use this line to keep them off the bbs nodes:   
      
   iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m string --string "block-me.com" --algo kmp -j   
   REJECT   
      
   That is all one line, and of course you change "block-me.com" to the name of   
   the site that is nailing your system... works well here.  It returns "port   
   unreachable" to the bot...  You should see the site name somewhere in your   
   main/inet.log ... that's how I found yandex.

   New users is always very neat :)
