But besides the issue of wasted resources, does it matter? The vast majority of spammers never know whether their messages were accepted or rejected, so there is no sense of satisfaction from stopping them at the SMTP level. TMDA's focus is on the issue of wasted time, not wasted computational resources. My time is exponentially more expensive than network bandwidth and computer hardware is. It'd be nice to conserve both of course, but that's difficult to do with one tool. However, it's a simple matter to combine tools as you see fit. > What I'm looking for, and what my suggestion was all about, was > stopping spam at the server itself. before it even hits your tmda > filters or processes. This is fine, and a good idea. I think we misunderstood your first message. I use http://www.ordb.org/ which blocks about 900 spams/day on my server. Others probably implement additional and/or more aggressive blacklisting techniques--I'm just rather conservative with regards to global blacklists. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
