Hi,
In the development of CanIt, I've discovered a really powerful
anti-spam rule:
For the following domains:
aol.com
earthlink.net
hotmail.com
yahoo.com
Reject mail unless the relay machine resolves to one whose name
ends in the same domain.
This kills a ton of spam, while only very occasionally dropping a
legit message -- most real users of those services relay via the
official mail servers, because they're too unsophisticated to do
otherwise.
This rule can go in filter_sender so you don't even start accepting
the message body.
Regards,
David.
