[Mimedefang] Stupid question? - subnet

[Richard Cooper]

Can I put a subnet mask for RelayAddr or do I have to enter them individually?
As in - 
$RelayAddr =~ /62\.253\.177\.96\\27/

To put it in context and to get some checking done before I break my filter, I'm trying to check the recipient against my final mail server as I get a lot of dictionary spam attacks on my relay from fake addresses so I end up with hundreds of postmaster - Undeliverable: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) mails every day. md_check_against_stmp_server looks like it will solve my problem but I need to potentially relay mail from anywhere in my server domain for various reasons.

This is what I have, but I would like to change the ...xxx\.100/ to the above. I'm not really bothered about checking outgoing mail, as I don't think the extra load would justify it.

#Check for local sender
sub is_local_sender {
        if ($RelayAddr =~ /127\.0\.0\.1/
                || $RelayAddr =~ /62\.253\.177\.100/) {
                return 1;
        } else {
                return 0;
        }
}

#Check for valid recipient on mailgate
sub filter_recipient
       {
        if(is_local_sender()) {
        } else {
           my($recip, $sender, $ip, $host, $first, $helo) = @_;
           return md_check_against_smtp_server($sender, $recip,"relay.machine","final.machine");
        }
       }

Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Ric
