FYI I have done this CIDR blocking for years at the firewall level ( people
on the list harassed me about it) with minimal false positives but still
enough to be a pain.

I have lists from Turkey, Russia and other countries as well, but using the
firewall method was rough when people didn't get a rejection so what I did
is I converted to postfix CIDR and use fail2ban to monitor the log.  If I
bounce the same IP 4 times with CIDR block then I block it at the firewall
level saving the potential backscatter and making my postfix from
overworking.  I can tell you I have blocked MILLIONS of messages regularly
from these CIDR's and it does make a big difference in the spam level.

Good Luck

Jack
