Gents,
I have added the following to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and rebuilt it trying to control spam. I still get about 25 spam messages a day. Is there something else that can help control spam?
Running spamassassin + clamav and a few RBLs seemed to make a big dent in it for me, but a fair amount of crap still gets through. Frankly, I guess I'll never understand the mindset of the spammer. They go out of their way to circumvent spam controls for people who *obviously* don't want to receive those ads. It's like me telling my mum I don't like liver so she goes out of her way to sneak it into my diet knowing I'll gag on each bite. (no, my mum really knows I hate liver and doesn't do that...heh)
I wish the penalties for polluting the internet were half as potent as those for polluting the ocean. Perhaps then we'd see some improvement.
Cheers,
