Hi everyone, I have been trying to battle spam reaching our server for a about 6 months now. We are now getting close to 1,500 spam emails per day (if not more). What I have been trying to figure out is how to eliminate this problem (or minimize it); I started using SpamAssasin a while back and what this does is send anything category '5' to a
[email protected] email address and then we can empty out the
[email protected] address. For some users that are getting more spam we activated the Box Trapper which requires anyone sending emails to them to verify their address first.
What other things can we do to eliminate these spam emails from getting to our server and consuming these resources?
What other settings can we tweak to minimize (maybe not eliminate) the amount of spam coming in?
I've also thought about changing the whole companies email addresses to a format like
[email protected] instead of just
[email protected] ...?
I know that this is a vast topic, but I would love to hear other things that you have implemented to fight spam on your servers, other ideas etc.
Thank you
