yes, i'm using ASK for spam protection. The meaning of the automatic
response is: reply this email and you'll be added to rbellora's
whitelist. I received your email anyway.
So, how does that help protect you from spam? It sounds like your system
receives a spam email from some unknown and probably forged address, delivers
the spam to you anyway, and then sends its own message back to the forged
adderss, to some poor innocent who didn't send the spam in the first
place...?
I'm not sure I see why this is a good idea (or have I misunderstood how it
works?)
Antony.
it works like this: any email received not in my whitelist is blocked
until the sender replies to the automatic response, or i unblock it
myself and then is delivered. I made a script (it runs once an hour on
business hours) to notify me when there is some new email that does not
seem spam (according to SpamAssassin) waiting, sending me a link to an
html report form of what's pending. Using the form, i delete what's spam
(with option to including the sender in an ignorelist or blacklist),
and, if there's some nonspam i deliver and optionally whitelist the
sender. I like it
best regards,
