NoBaloney Internet Svcs - In Memoriam †
From time to time a few people have posted that SpamBlocker isn't good enough for them.
I've never said that the tools in the blocklists are enough to block spam; only that they're a good start and part of a good solution.
For example, a few days ago (a reasonably average day) I checked to see how much spam actually made it through to my main nobaloney mailbox, which has been around and attracting spam and spammers for over eight years:
Here's the total:
2 spams
11 majordomo-based spam
A word about majordomo-based spam: If you run majordomo mailing lists eventually you'll get spam to both the signup address and the actual email address.
What do I use to keep the spam in my desktop inbox so low:
1) SpamBlocker version 3.1-beta, with all the blocklists and defaults.
2) SpamAssassin as supplied by DirectAdmin, no changes to the configuration.
3) DirectAdmin Email Spam Filters set up for many common words and phrases, continually updated.
4) Filters on my local desktop to filter out all marked by SpamAssassin as Spam.
Together the mix is extremely successful for me.
