Create spamtrap addresses (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> = spamtrap) and lay them out where spammers can pick them up.
But I do not use SIMS for email I just use it for SMTP.I use WebStar for mail, would spam traps still work then?
Do you mean that you use SIMS only for outgoing SMTP and W* for incoming?
Yes
Then why do you have RBLs?
Because I thought they would stop spam. I have sending about 60,000 messages a day though the machine.
If YOU are sending that mail, then it is only YOUR addresses offering it to SIMS, and you don't want to ever run into something like yesterday's debacle of a blacklist operator getting grumpy and blacklisting everything. If those 60k messages are not just coming from your own network and users, then you must be using it for incoming mail, or else you are an open relay.
