As far as my experience says, RBL + ORBS effectively block almost all spam mails. However, the error messages that sendmail produces when rejecting e-mail due to ORBS or RBL query are pretty brief and - this was the case mainly with ORBS which includes also "suspicious hosts" that even bigger providers and companies sometimes run - most "lusers" complain that your mail host is misconfigured and rejects all mail from their site. I was already thinking about tweaking ORBS ruleset in sendmail to produce a more verbatim message, but currently I've enough other things to do. > Anyway, feel free to submit comments; unless convinced otherwise RBL > filters will be inserted this coming weekend. I'd go for RBL in any case, and I can only recommend ORBS (but filtering with ORBS will occasionally give you some additional work of explaing why things are as they are). -- jan --------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Jan Prikryl | vr|vis center for virtual reality and visualisation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.vrvis.at --------------------+------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
