have you configured pyzor, etc AND 'scoring' in your spamassassin? essentially : Spam is dead. (So, you do not have to receive these 'blackmail' emails)
For scoring : I use superblock.ascams.com - at 5.5 (If you are listed here you are sending spam, phish, virus, spyware) Then I use bl.spamcopnet also at 5.5 (If you are listed here you are sending spam) And I use the barracuda lists at 3.3 I also use block.ascams.com and at 3.0 (sometimes 3.5) (this has all the spammy social media and spam mailing lists) Then I drop anything over 12 (sometimes 13, sometimes 14 - depending if the Internet is angry or not so angry) Email servers with a good reputation - sails through - email servers with a poor reputation is marked as spam (anything over say 6 and anything over 12-14 is auto bounced For individual business domains, drop is sometimes set to 6 or 7 - so these accounts literally see no spam ever - for the legit emails that are blocked - the sending server is usually placed under pressure to 'clean up' their reputation... - and if they are not - they lose clients :) hth Andre On Sat, 4 Aug 2018 00:47:09 -0400 (EDT) "D.
