Hello, I am interested in knowning how the list members feel about spam. I've
been receiving an increasing amount of spam in my personal mail box lately and
I have been looking into something more radical than a merely an access list
of common spammers. I'm considering a commercial service that works with sendmail
that incrementally downloads an abuse list daily and will reject e-mail from those
domains of known spammers. This will undoubtedly block many of the large ISP
and free e-mail services too such as hotmail, yahoo-mail and aol. I am quite
aware that some of our members use these services to post to the group. I'm
hoping you guys could help me weigh the benefits and pitfalls of such a system.
One thing is for sure though, manual additions to the access database take up
time that I could be doing better things and it is probably not the best solution
to our problem.
Thanks in advance,
Mike Neuliep
