Hi all,

We have a had a number of subscription bombing activities. Our Sympa instance (6.2.72) looks to be configured in sympa.conf to allow blocking:
(use_blacklist send,create_list, subscribe).  However, I do not know where the blocklist.txt/blacklist.txt file should live in the file system for globally blocking an email or domain. Any hints on this? 

Best Regards,
