SPAM prevention (was Re: Nice web page templates here. Check it out!)
Hi,
Wouldn't it be nice if the MX for lists.debian.org would at least block
open relays and proxies? I'm getting a lot of spam through the various
debian list. Blocking open relays and proxies is no political issue,
like eg. spamcop.
The sender of this SPAM message, 64.109.69.2 is indeed listed in
relays.osirusoft.com. Having used that (safe, IMHO) list would have
prevented it from going to all subscribers of (at least) debian-hurd.
In short, I really think that in addition to employing spamassassin,
which lists.debian.org already does, an open relay/proxy blacklist of
good reputation should be used.
Cheers,
Emile.
