Not sure of the answer to your question, but ijb has been long dead. I
think it would be awfully easy to test. IJB has been replaced by
Privoxy. You may want to look at this;

http://www.privoxy.org/

and

http://dansguardian.org/

I use Dansguardian in conjunction with Squid and Privoxy. It all works
together like a charm!

Been a very long time since I used IJB, but I think you can.

IIRC, in your block file, specify the IP to block followed by /*.*/

I find example block files using google "junkbuster blockfile".

Privoxy is the replacement for IJB. You should have a look at it.

It's better to split the services. Handling large IPtables list will
soon get out of hand (and it won't work very well in the first place).

To cut down banner ads is dead easy: use Firefox/Mozilla together with
Adblock and a decent ruleset (a good start is found in the forum on
Adblock's download page). Use Privoxy if you want to work on all
browsers (though my experience is that Privoxy is more prone to breaking
web pages so I would choose the first solution if I could).

Spam is somewhat harder, one solution might not be enough. Are you
running an email server of your own? Then a combination of grey listing,
various block lists (Spamhaus i.e.), and end tools like Procmail,
Spamassassin and Bogofilter does a great job, once you set them up
correctly. You might want to omit grey listing, since it might break
things (even though I haven't had any problems with it).

If you only want to filter out spam from your email (if you use your
ISPs mail server for example), Mozilla Thunderbird has built in spam
filtering. I guess other email clients has similiar solutions. You might
also check if they provide any of the previous mentioned tools for a
more powerful filtering.

HTH.
