Well, a very productive weekend here...

I finally migrated EIMS from my OS 9 machine to the OS X box running LetterRip (farewell, OS 9!), and set mail to filter through EIMS before moving on to LetterRip, which should alleviate SOME of the problem thanks to greylisting and EIMS' excellent SMTP Host List.

But for the even longer term, my Wish List for LetterRip:

1) Allow us to turn off echoing of the original message in responses
or
2) Reduce the echo to ~3 lines of the message, to remove most of the potential spam

3) Allow us to turn off the "-on" and "-off" addresses...that's where the spam is coming in. I put a filter on EIMS to "refuse" such messages, and in 18 hours, that filter has been triggered over 200 times already. And my lists are NOT that busy. I'd rather just not use those addresses.

4) (Obviated by EIMS) Add "connecting IP" to the "Mail Rejection Strings" options to contain addresses from connecting servers, so it's easier to block spammers IPs when they start pummeling the server.

All I can think of right now...

Cheers,
spud.
