Pete,

Do you have a list of IP addresses or networks that I can whitelist in my
anti-spam filters for any messages that may originate from you or the
mailing list regarding Sniffer/SortMonster?

I used to whitelist entire domains by domain name, but am finding that far
too many spams are forging legit domains to the point where that really
can't be counted on. In fact, I very well may have to get rid of the
whitelisting of addresses altogether, as I've noticed that spammers are now
using relatively well-known return addresses (mostly that of airlines,
travel agencies, popular mailing lists, etc.) to get by spam filters,
knowing that those addresses are highly apt to be whitelisted. Since address
headers are so easy to forge, whitelisting by IP address is about the only
verifiable thing in the headers that I can count on for whitelisting
purposes anymore.

BTW, I have not noticed any uptick in porn spams slipping by Sniffer
filters. However, using porn in the subject line of a recent mailing to the
list did trigger some of my own filters. :-)
