Well I use OpenBSD as my firewalling mailserver. But the OpenBSD mailinglist is a fully open list. Yes great fun, 3 spams a day and virusses and antivirus warnings (with trojans included). And they wont make it a subscribe only list :( So: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/ Heh. That was why I informed here to find out how this list does prevent spam. Groetjes, Han. -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software

It's fairly radical but I suppose it works well. This works awesome... I've been using TMDA here for a while, and it does exactly this... it is the best anti-spam "investment" I have ever made... spam is now 0/day, consistently, when it used to be 25+/day. Very nice. For some info (somewhat dated already due to development on TMDA), you can read http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/spam2.php or else visit the TMDA homepage at http://tmda.sourceforge.net/.

Some people actually use an equivalent method to prevent themselves from spam: they maintain the list of all "known" persons, and each time an unknown person tries to send them a mail, an autoresponder asks for am answer, insisting on the fact that it's an antispam measure, and that the bothering would occur only once. It's fairly radical but I suppose it works well. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

Re: [Cooker] cooker@ antispam procedures.
easy to post on the list you must be registered to recieve the list. If you're not registered, the mail program responds to the user confirming they want to post, and asking them to register. Try it from a hotmail account you haven't registered to recieve cooker. You'll find it will reject you and ask you to register, or send it anyways. Either way, the auto mailers won't respond to the provided link. To stupid.

If you're looking to prevent spam, I've started a web page describing my efforts. Currently, I've only gotten one spam message in the past month. The page needs some updating; but my real configs are available. If it helps, see http://pfortin.com/Linux/PostFix Cheers, Pierre
