I'm finding that, since my site is on many lists that are sold over and over
again, (Including those attempts to sell'em back to ME) that Razor doesn't work any
better than any other effort I've made to combat spam. Sure, it's a gallant and
brilliant idea, but it's not having the return I was hoping for.
Before SpamAssasssin and Razon I blocked sites with /etc/mail/aliases. I created
a little script to take an email address or IP address and put it into the file with
some kind of 'go away, spammer' message and rebuilds the table. I just learned how
powerful that this kind of blocking can be- it went away.
Razor and SpamAssassin catch perhaps 20%, which I invest the time to report, so
YOU GUYS won't have to fight these messages, too. But the volume here is massive,
considering that I'm not an ISP or even a company with lots of people....it's mostly
me, but from time to time I have my daughters on....daughters that don't know how to
protect themselves from spam, and sign up for EVERYTHING under the sun.
Spams number in the high-hundreds-per-day here, but when I look at
/var/log/maillog and pick out the "relay=" entry in the logs, and block them, I never
see that spam, or future spams, from that domain or specific IP address again. Period.
If anyone wants to dip into this spam-fountain and learn more about the
cutting-edge methods they're using to spam me, I'm open to SSH connections. But right
now I've got to go report another 20-30 spams and block some sites...
