One could argue that this is no "perfect" way.  And that multiple
efforts to protect yourself is the best way.

Personally, I'd deny all, and just allow the known address.  Then do the
same with the firewall rule.  Though, I wouldn't allow telnet, at all.
Are you sure you need it?

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
