I'm getting quite a lot of crap email these days, ever since ORBS/ORBL & Co. disappeared, and MAPS went to a fee-based service. (I'm really not planning to pay $200/yr for a single blackhole list.) I was never really crazy about MAPS to begin with, because they tried too hard to be "fair."
MAPS is still free for non-commercial use. There are many others out there.
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.
BTW, for the curious, my daily haul of junk mail varies from 20 to 40 messages. Can anyone beat that?
check out: http://www.kluge.net/mailfiltering/ I've been writing up most of what I do on my machine. It's partially written for my users and partially written for other people who want to find out about mail filtering. At a minimum, I have a listing of the RBLs that I specifically use. There are more out there. My main suggestion to you is: get SpamAssassin. For anything that gets through your MTA, it'll clear up your inbox. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Minix is one of the reasons I decided microkernels are bad.
