RE: [Asrg] New proposal for spam blocking: Greylisting

2003-06-24 06:10:40
Over the past few months, I've been working on a new method of blocking 
spam that I've termed "Greylisting".  From my testing it appears to be 
over 97% effective.

It requires no changes to the infrastructure, is resistant to spammer
adaptation, and is very effective, yet very lightweight.

The paper outlining the method is at
http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/ and I have also 
posted an example implementation for a Sendmail Milter written in perl.

You seem to have reinvented something that CanIt, from Roaring Penguin,
has done for a while.

I've copied David Skoll, the author, for comment.
