I do this on our mail relay server and the actual server that the users get their mail from. Outlook chokes on the greetpause and won't be able to pop mail from the server. But on a mail relay it is another measure to try to stem the tide. Definitely do some research about the Outlook issue before you implement this in your production boxes.

You wouldn't want to return it to the sender because it more than likely will not go to the spammer but a compromised box of theirs. It will mark spam and rewrite the subject line so you and your users can easily filter them to trash. You can also set a threshold on the score that the spam receives and it it matches or exceeds this threshold it is automatically sent to /dev/null. A couple of other things to look into for spam fighting. A 30 second sleep during the smtp exchange will reduce spam, sendmail uses what is called a 'GreetPause'. Testing for valid users during the smtp process then rejecting the email if the user doesn't exist will also help. Make sure that you send a message back to the sender letting them know that that user does not exist, it may just have been a typo. Anything you can do at the smtp layer is preferred, it will be less of a load on your server at this level rather than spamassassin firing up perl to check the mail.

Sure, I would welcome any reasonable choice. Since I know Vince is quite busy. I figured I'd help push the process along and suggest something reasonable. Also, these come with a 5 year warranty which will help to stretch our donation. I think we put in Seagate's last time as well. Which reminds me, there is one IDE cable in the server that looks like it's been put through the grinder and then stepped on a few times. ;-P So I'll also donate some really long IDE cables. I should still have a new 36 and 48-inch in stock. I think we have "three" hands up to buy one and donate. I'm the "fourth" and would be willing to handle the transaction if everyone agrees. I'm putting in an order Wednesday morning so I can comp the S&H if we can all agree by then. Otherwise let me know where to send the check. I'd very much like to install the HDs as I haven't seen Brian's new lab since he moved. It'd also give me a chance to check out the new toys Brian's working with. :-) Long live the HOSEF mirror!
