RE: [SM-USERS] Ping: Konstantin Riabitsev -- your Squirrelmail 'i nstallation'

[Greg S. <gr...@in...>]

Hmm. Well I want to use server-side filtering because not everyone accesses
their mail via SM and therefore the spam filters in it won't filter their
mailbox. Besides, the services I was going to use (SPEWS and ORDB) have been
around for a while and I don't think they'll go pay-to-use anytime.. Any
ideas/suggestions for server-side filtering then?


Forward that email about pop-before-smtp, please? It's late but I'm bored...
:)

Rblsmtpd is useless, and a pain to keep up with all the blackhole
services, since they seem to appear and disappear, or become for-pay too
frequently. More importantly, rblsmtpd patches weren't compiling for me
on rh72, so I ditched them.

From my experience, rblsmtpd was creating too much network traffic, and
managed to filter less than 1% of spam.

Good, 'cause I'm not sure I can help you with that. :) There is,
however, a way to use pop-before-smtp for authorization... I have the
e-mail describing how to do this in front of me, but I have to
incorporate it into the howto. Maybe tomorrow. :)
