  1. what about greylisting? by smartfart · · Score: 1 · on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way
    Quite similiar in effect to the article's method, I suppose, but greylisting is much more elegant. Greylisting means that you reject all mail on the first attempt, on the theory that spammers and trojanned windows boxen spewing malware don't check for 'try back later" errors and won't resend the payload. Legitimate mail servers resend a few minutes later, and the mail is accepted at that time.

    I use postgrey with postfix, and it seems to work pretty good. By the way, I also run clamav and spamassassin, both of which are handled by amavis-new, which also rejects mail with errant windows attachments. You can read an extensive description of my setup here.

    I know this is absolutely going to kill my server, but we're the ones that are going to be affected by the licensing board's actions, and have been discussing the issue on our mailing list today.

    "Take it and your stale nonsense back to Mr. Gates where it comes from and belongs."

    You're kidding, right? I own a Linux company. I'm the active leader of a Linux Users Group. I write free software.

    Your need to see a doctor about your knee... it jerks too much, don't you think?

    I think your post exemplifies my complaints about elitism.

    I write GPL software (check my projects page if you doubt me). I believe in free software. I don't cotton to RMS-style rants, though. I also refuse to append "GNU/" to anything. I run Linux, and will always claim to run Linux, not "GNU/".

    I'm not opposed to the freedom to run only free-as-in-speech software --- I never said that. I am opposed to anyone looking down on me because I run non-Debian distro (SuSE has been my main distro for 4 years now, though I also like NetBSD). I'm not saying every Debian user has an attitude, but I've run into far too many elitists over the years, and quite honestly I don't need elitism, not from Debian users, not from RMS, and not from the BSD crowd.

    I'm not alone in my opinion, and everyone here on slashdot has heard both sides of this issue many times. Why am I labelled a troll for speaking up?

    I'm willing to admit I'm oversensitive about this issue. I didn't mean to offend anyone by my remarks. I won't back down from my statements regarding elitism, however.
