Hi there,
I'm interested if there are any notes regarding this talk. Peter
mentioned a few websites on the night regarding more information but I
cannot remember them, can anyone help?
I know he mentioned 2 RFCs, I found 1 RFC2821 but I cannot remember the
other.
The problem I'm having at the moment is that I'm sending emails through
mail.bigpond.com and mail may take a few days to get a bounce back or
get through. This is causing a few issues. I know that SMTP is not a
protocal that gaurentees mail delivery in a spacific time but I'm just
trying to reduce the time.
Does anyone know of any good mail relays for sending emails more
quickly.
"In-Depth Talk
Peter Chubb: I Hate Spam!!!
All of us are affected by spam. I'll be giving some war stories ... hear
about the time that collateral spam brought down UNSW CSE's mail servers
... how to report spammers so it doesn't happen to you! ... hear about
the time that spamassassin managed to OOM and bring down an important
web server ... how to configure your MTA to reject enough spam that
spamassassin doesn't have to do so much work.
I'll be giving my examples for Exim configuration, but the principles
(and I'll be talking more about what to do than how to do it) will apply
to all mail servers."
