Methinks that stoping relays off your server, ( pop before sendmail is nice ) rejecting unresolvable domains, blocking known spammer IP addresses, and using the RBL all helps. Add a little procmail filter to scan for certain headers ( t-1net.com ) and a few other goodies... Beyond this, you can really get into doing yourself brain damage trying to stop the shit. I sometimes send it back to the originating ISP or RELAY, but, after a while, that can get to frigging time consuming when the ISP does not give a damn. ( UU.NET seems not to really care. ) While I hate the thought of Gub'mint sticking thee nose in, having a law that would prevent and PUNISH U.C.E. such as the "junk fax" law might help.... Personally, I think if ISP's would include in their user agreements that anyone sending this crap gets billed an extra $10 per peice of UCE mail that gererates a customer complaint, that would cut it a bunch. Since this would make it considerably less economical, methinks it would curb it in a big way.... Take a lesson from the IRS, if you want to modify behavior, do it with the pocketbook. Blaine.
