My anti-spam mantra is "RSS+RBL+DUL"
I hardly ever get spam these days. Perhaps an average of one a week.
Am I just lucky? I dunno for sure, but I opened a hotmail account
just for grins, never used it, and a month later already have 30+
spams. Wierd.
Since djb's quotes are hip right now, I'll invoke the "Profile, don't
speculate" rule (I think that was the quote...? ). I really wanted to
see just how things were going and this thread is my excuse.
These stats are for Feb 24, 9:15pm local until now.
RSS has blocked 2294 smtp connections.
DUL has blocked 306 smtp connections.
RBL has blocked 3767 smtp connections.
note: RBL rejections output 421 error code, DUL and RSS 553. That
does seem strange, don't ask my why I did that now, because I don't
know I have a particular reason. It would seem more logical to have
RSS hosts receive a deferral, but there are a lot more hosts on RSS,
which would result in quite a few deferrals. I *think* that was
my reasoning...
qmailanalog stats for the time period, and the actual hosts rejected,
are at http://defiant.coinet.com/rss.html for those who are interested
in looking.
Our local cable company got listed in RSS a couple weeks ago,
resulting in only the second time, I know of that is, that legit email
may have been affected (been using RSS since before it was affiliated
with MAPS). The bozos got relay-raped by a viagra spammer.
