I've just programmed a mail filter which does his job quite well. It's
a perl script that is executed each time when a mail arrives. A
message is treated as spam if the sender's ip is listed in ORBS or
MAPS. So, it does for each time two requests (example ip: 1.2.3.4):
host 4.3.2.1.blackholes.mail-abuse.org
host 4.3.2.1.relays.orbs.org
If the ip 127.0.0.2 is returned, the probability is high that the
message is spam. Because I don't delete the message, but send it to
another address, I take no risks.
Additionally, I check the subjects for some suspect strings.
So, I let a script filter my mails *before* they arrive in my pop
account.
So short,
Beat
