Anyway, is anyone using (or know of) a freely-queriable RBL? Although it's fun to upgrade the keyword filter, it would be easier if I only had to do it for exceptions.
Hmm, dunno about a RBL, but TMDA is really cool...perhaps you should check it out?
TMDA looks interesting, but despite all the propaganda for whitelist-only, I really don't want to risk losing a contact because someone didn't understand, or bother to reply to the autogenerated response. As it is now, my junk is routed to a junk spool that I check on a somewhat-weekly basis, just to make sure I didn't accidentally junk a message from a potential customer, or other business contact that's just lame enough to send a spam-looking message from his Yahoo account. (Yeah, it happens!!) Spamassassin looks cool, but I don't admin the machine where my mail is processed, so it may be a while before I can set that up. ;) (It's actually a Redhat 5.1 system that hasn't been touched since Redhat 5.1 was brand new. We've only installed security upgrades.) But I did find mention of ordb.org on the spamassassin web site, which has solved my immediate problem. ;)
BTW, for the curious, my daily haul of junk mail varies from 20 to 40 messages. Can anyone beat that?
Hmm, that's about what I get. Lately I've been getting a lot of chinese spam with unreadable subject/body, which is interesting.
Korean, for me. Odd. -Chuck
