[nylug-talk] What's your spam filtering stack?

[Michael Bacarella]

I'm holding out hope that I can keep meaningful
email addresses that I've been using for decades,
and I'm probably not the only one.

I used to use graylisting, but that went away due
to a sendmail->postfix changeover*.  Now the bulk of
my spam fighting is plain old blacklisting.

/etc/postfix/main.cf:

	smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
		...
        	reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
        	reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org,
        	reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org,
        	reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org,

This blocks less than graylisting used to, but it doesn't have
the delayed legit email properties, so I may keep it.


It's been awhile since I've been in the sys admin's seat.

What's standard operating procedure nowadays?
