How to block IPs based on IP block list providers (SORBS, SPAMCIP...)

Is there a way to do that easily through webmin, or what to setup in linux? (Debian Lenny)

Thanks for help

There are probably a number of ways to do that. I personally use the software package "CSF/LFD" (ConfigServer Security and Firewall /Login Failure Daemon) for that, which among lots of other things, can download a number of IP blacklists and configure iptables to block them. By default it supports DSHIELD and the Spamhaus DROP list, but I think you can configure custom lists too. CSF includes a Webmin module to that you can access its configuration GUI from within Webmin.
