[PLUG] Postfix SPAM filtering?

[Russ Johnson]

Please turn off html.

Thanks.

Take a look at my messages from last week. I put a script in here that 
downloads a list of known spammers, and updates the access file to reject 
them.

I had postfix set to reject mail servers that didn't reverse resolve, but I 
found I was losing too much legitimate email by doing that.

You can also add black hole relay checks.

In your /etc/postfix/main.cf, you add the following:

smtpd_client_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access,reject_maps_rbl
smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_maps_rbl
maps_rbl_reject_code = 554
maps_rbl_domains = 
west1.mail-abuse.org,ns1-relays.osirusoft.com,relays.ordb.org
