What about a program like: http://freshmeat.net/projects/dcc-source/ I haven't looked into it, but it looks like a way to help filter the mail by comparing checksums of messages with a repository. Then you aren't blacklisting whole email systems, just the spam itself. > Use a spam clearinghouse to report spam and get the IP blocks into an RBL service. > > If you use postfix as your MTA you can use the lines below to stop a LOT of spam. > With the combined config below and regexp matching I stop 99.999% of incoming > spam to all domains I handle. Whatever gets thru is added to "header_checks". > > WARNING: There are a LOT of misconfigured email systems out there and > you will stop a lot of legitimate mail from clue deprived admins. > The good news is they will get a 4xx error and if you check your > logs, you can whitelist the mail servers you want mail from. > Make sure you understand what the lines below will do before even > attempting to apply this ruleset to postfix. > I have left out "header_checks" and "body_checks" since you will > want to set them up yourself and I have over 559 regexp entries > that are pretty harsh like rejecting email from "com.ar" > > NOTE: Order of the checks is important, keep that in mind. > > maps_rbl_domains = relays.ordb.org, > relays.visi.com, > inputs.orbz.org > > smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, > reject_unauth_destination, > reject_maps_rbl, > reject_invalid_hostname, > reject_unknown_hostname, > reject_unknown_sender_domain, > reject_unknown_client, > reject_non_fqdn_sender, > reject_unauth_pipelining, > reject_non_fqdn_hostname, > permit > > > On Sun, Mar 17, 2002 at 02:00:46AM -0800, mike wrote: > > > > Quick question.
