Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi All, I realise this really isn't the place to ask this - but I thought it was kind of relevant as we all seem to be getting hit by SPAM sent to this list as well... If anyone can reply (to me directly if they want to avoid the 'off-topic' calls) - What does everyone do with their SPAM? - I've seen numerous 'mail it to nospam@somewhere.com', install 'anti-spam' rules, join CAUSE etc. Ever since I've started posting to these lists I get hit by about 6 - 7 SPAM messages a day... Ok, not major - but annoying - especially as they all have the 'fatal' "To remove yourself from our list - simply reply with 'remove' as the subject line", and lo and behold "emailmarketing@business.aliens" doesn't really exist! - What a suprise?! ;-) ... Do the Anti-Spam sendmail rules work? - What happens when say one of our customers mails (through us - being allowed by the rules to 'relay' through us) to another site, where the customer is hidden behind a mail-relay (for security reasons)? - Isn't the remotes sites anti-spam rules going to deny the mail? (as it was relayed at our end, and then re-relayed at the other?) - Or is part of these rules a re-write to make it appear the mail hasn't been 'relayed' at our end? Any private / public / general comments greatly appreciated...
