I think Greylisting reduces backscatter. Greylisting stops the majority of the SPAM from ever reaching our mail server, so it never has a chance to get bounced back because of a non existent user, etc.
Mike ---------------------------------------- Hi Everyone - We've been having a few issues with mail servers refusing our mail. Today I ran a test on DNSStuff and found that our IP is on BackScatter.org. They are referencing an event on 4/27, and supposedly we will be removed after 4 weeks if they haven't had any other issues. Of course we can pay to have it removed sooner. I'm not sure if being listed in their DB is the main culprit to the server refusals that I've seen? We switched over to SmarterMail in mid-April. Since 4/27, we have implemented grey listing. Is grey listing a good first line of defense? Is there anything else I should be doing to prevent back scatter? Thanks for your thoughts on this.
