killing spam

02.05.09 | 1 Comment

I have configured our mailserver and added a bunch of spamkilling stuff. It seems to work fine now. But damnit! The server gets spam every five seconds or so! I mean, it’s an awful waste of bandwidth.

Anyway, this is the antispam features we’re using now:

DNS Blacklists (there is a bunch of them, realtime checking and all, Spamhaus & Spamcop really kicks spam-ass)
SURBL Checking (another fine countermeasure)
SpamAssassin (really cool, open source, really the best solution out there)

    Also, we were recieving alot of russian spam. I remove those based on charset encoding. I can’t read Cyrillic anyway :)
