Hello MikeD,
M>> Not really. I use some blacklists (mainly Spamhaus, www.spamhaus.org) at M>> my server and, thanks to them, I stop/reject over 600 (yes, 600) email M>> per day before they even get into the server. > > When you miss that important email because it was sent from someone > that was blacklisted incorrectly, I will remind you of those 600 other > messages and ask you which was more important, the one or the 600 <g> I wasn't born to review about 700 SPAM email daily to see if one is erroneously flagged, at least that is what my mom told me before leaving the hospital ;) Aside of that, if the "important" email is rejected by my server, the sender will receive the rejection error message and can act in consequence. It has happened. > I really hate it when my ISP decides to reject some email that *they* > think is spam but is actually real and sometimes important. I currently > have everything they offer disabled and rely on the plugin. That way > I get all the messages. I also hate my ISP (or anyone) deciding for me. That is why I have my different domains and add my own SMTP/POP server sitting a couple of meter away from me. > Can you tell I don't like the black list model? <g> Don't use it, AFAIK it's not mandatory. But I like it and use some of the most 'serious' and reliable DNSbls. Your choice is yours and mine is mine :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.
