I'm getting a ton of spam posting attempts to our subscriber only email list - in the order of about 100 to 150 per day and growing. As I need to keep a look out for actual member requests (sometimes a member wants to unsubscribe or is having some problem - a non member wants to subscribe) I have to look through these approval headers to make sure it isn't a local person wanting something. So it becomes a pain. Most spammers use obvious emails so I can mass delete them (harder on my phone when managing the mail) but I'm wondering if there is something I can do to stem the flow.
I'm with Hawkhost on a VPS plan (virtual private server) so I have a bit of control - but don't know much about what to do - if there are access/deny lists I can somehow use. I did enable some spam controls but it didn't seem to do anything. It would have to a server level deny list I assume like iptables or something to reject known spammers at least, or whole domains like from foreign companies (.it, .br, .ch , etc) and perhaps some spoofing going on from the likes of domains such as hilton.k12.ny.us <[email protected]>. thx, Jim ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
