I use Untangle and love it, but It is a full network solution not an individual 
account method of combating spam, but it is at least free. Good luck

Subject: Need some help combating SPAM 

Here's an appeal to the collective sysadmin knowledge on the list. 

I've been getting bombarded with spam recently from a particular 
source. (15 of the bloody things during my lunch break alone.) 
Hawking a wide range of things, the URLs in each of the spams 
look something like this: 
http://somedomain.com/bYxbyYbEQxQExyMyEyEIMxobFdYQy 

Currently my Postfix setup is using greylisting and the 
zen.spamhaus.org RBL. The spammer is jumping around 
various IP addresses faster than zen.spamhaus.org can list 
them. The URLs being used change constantly and he's using 
an email server that retries messages so greylisting isn't 
blocking them. 

I've tried adding the RBL 0spam.fusionzero.com to my config. 
This RBL blocks entire C blocks of IP addresses since this 
spammer appears to be purchasing a C block and working his way 
through the entire range as each IP becomes listed. 

The problem with 0spam.fusionzero.com is that it's a bit TOO 
aggressive and sites like hotmail.com and ConstantContact.com 
are getting caught up in that RBL. 

So, any suggestions of other RBLs that aren't quite so aggressive 
or does anybody have another method of fighting this particular 
brand of SPAM? 

Thanks, 
Rene
