I decided that checking the spam queue once a week is better than getting 20+ email messages a month. Most non-members don't even know a -owner even exists. I've found that it's mostly only useful for alerts about queued messages and with the way I now handle it, those alerts are useless to me.

This regex will take everything after the @ part of the email address and check the characters. If it's 15 or longer, then the message is rejected. This is 1 for the . and 3 for after that. So ".com" takes up 4, leaving 11 character for the rest of the domain. If they are sending from "@getmoremoneynow.com" That will be 19 of the allowed 15. It's a simple rule but when I first came up with the idea, I thought I was pretty smart. ^...@.{15,}$ - -- Michael Lustfield Kalliki Software, SD LoCo Network and Systems Administrator -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoqnWMACgkQ3y7Nst6YLGXOpwCdG+q1/9MfCHScrdbpOcOh0Tm0 r/IAn0Loqh4FyVcWVtlgSkWk/9+LhdZI =iG8H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
