sangiro 26 #1 October 4, 2002 A quick question: I'm looking at a couple of options to fight spam in the Dropzone Mail service. Some solutions out there are more aggressive and some less so. Here are the options: 1. None - Use the new Dropzone Mail application's ability to add email addresses to your own spam list as well as filter for words in the subject or address. 2. ORDB - Filter all incoming mail against open relay databases (ORDB) Gets 20-30% of spam in our tests, but very little real email is blocked. 3. SpamAssassin - This just tags email as spam, so you still download it, but the subject is altered as ****** SPAM ****** for easy filtering. This way you don't lose anything. Gets 95% of spam, but also a little legit email. 4. Spamcop - Gets 99% of spam, but blocks more legit mail. You don't download the spam at all, it's killed on the server. So, which would you prefer?Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 October 4, 2002 Bossman... I know what those programs cost (I've eval'd one and help on one of the black hole lists currently) I admire what your spending on this privliage. You are going way beyond what almost every other FREE service has ever offered. When are you getting to the States again? I fore see a trip to SoCal to express my thanks! If you do go with the None I can post some of the more common rule and keyword filters that I've created for our corperate network and also a list of domains that should be blocked.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sangiro 26 #3 October 4, 2002 Phree - I'll be in SoCal as soon as they let me in!

It would be great if you could post these anyway. People can already use them on the current installation. I for one would like to have it.

Jimbo 0 #4 October 5, 2002 What are you running as an MTA on the backend? If you have any control over this _and_ you're the one who has to administrate the system then I would recommend Postfix, it really doesn't get any easier. Of course if the hosting site takes care of this then nevermind... - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
