[Mimedefang] SMTP Tarpit

[Lucas Albers]

I try and save spam, and then run it to through sa-learn.
So the spam gets bounced but then if it is past a certain score 10 or so, it
gets saved.
Then I run it though a filter, to learn the spam via spamassassin.

It also helps to filter through your maillogs to determine who your top
senders are.
This will tell you when a new spammer has targeted your machine.
The script I use is spamshield, a really old perl script.

Dave has some python scripts that pull out the same information form your
mimedefang maillogs.
There are better scripts then what I use.

Summary: I think tarpitting is useless to fight spam.
