Any mta that connects to you to send you mail, you check against a white list, and if they are not on it, you reject the connection with a 'try again later' code and add them to a grey list that will let them in after 10 minutes or so. The vast majority of spambots don't queue up retries, they just move on to the next target. The downside of greylisting is delayed delivery of mail from non white listed servers, dependent on their retry cycle. I finally gave up on running my own email services and use Gmail which has excellent spam filtering > _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
