Spam

How do you deal with it? At the server level, or use a third party filter provider like netriplex?

If you deal with it at the server level what do you use? Any off-the-shelf software or a custom/homegrown set of techniques?

 

what kind of spam are you talking about? be more specific.

 

Email spam

 

use a spam filter on your email server.

 

At server level I have disabled email, using my ISP instead, and forwarding the messages to Gmail where most of the spam is filtered.

Of course I have nobody else than myself hosted on my server.

 

Did you even read the first post I want to know what you are using to combat spam.

 

Perhaps if you made your question clear in the first place there wouldnt be any ambiguity. You wanna know what i use to combat email spam? Well, guess what... I use a spam filter. I answered your question...

So, why the hell are you giving me a red rep in which you call me names? Your upset when you ask a vague question and get a vague response. Give yourself a red rep...not me.

 

I like Spam Assassin, and there are several quality blacklists that you could use. Don't forget to use an open relay(proxy) blacklist too(http://www.ordb.org/).

Good luck

 

I personally use Spamhaus and a few other blacklists I can't recall at the moment. Works pretty good though a few slip by.

 

just read an article in the times about how spam is at it's all time high

 

Perhaps if you had bothered to read the first post before posting, you would have understood the "question" unambiguously

I've disabled it as theres a bug with Plesk, spam assassin & DrWeb antivirus that keeps sending "message undeliverable mails", thousands of them continously.
