Looking at my spam graphs I cooked up when I turned on grey-listing:

grey-listing has basically lost all it's gains over the last 6-7
months. Or worse yet, there're that many spammers that realized
resending would get around grey-listing on top of the stuff that's still
just blasted out once.
Think I need to ratchet up the rules in my MX box to try to lower some
of that.
One more reason to setup my own Postfix server. My first reason was the
recent "improved" Cox spam blocking on their mail servers. The POS will
not allow me to report phishing scams or any other overly malicious crap
that I receive from time to time. It tags such e-mails as spam
(sometimes even without much of the original content) and refuses to
allow me to send it. Cox HSI support has been less than useless the
dozen or so times I've tried to explain the problem to them.
This recent influx of bounces now shows that I need a better local
filter. I may also want to move my domain since I've been having trouble
getting admin support for the past several months (I don't host or admin
my randomlogic.com server). Trouble is I'd like a dedicated server, but
I can't afford it now I was going to use my current employer, where I h
ad full access and control, but they are now selling the hosting portion
of the business.
I am now up to nearly 300 failed delivery messages, so that's +100 since
my original post. Amazing how many mis/poorly configured mail servers
there are.
