How can I block Google's spammy servers?
For several months I occasionally get spam and use sites to parse the email to find that the server is owned by Google.
If you use either of these sites, you will see the IP of the latest spammer to hit me is owned by Google:
IP to check: 209.85.192.172 (gleaned from sites like SpamCop for one, I've used two to verify the parsing for the above address)

- jebblue 13y agoAm I the only one getting spammed from IPs in the 209.* range owned by Google? If I CIDR block them then I run the risk of blocking legitimate Gmail users I'd imagine, right?
