Is there anyone out there who has ever had to abandon an email
account because the amount of spam became unbearable?
I'm convinced the answer is "yes"; I've heard far too many reports
of
that for me to believe they're all false.
You guys have GOT to be kidding.
I changed my E-mail address. Fortunately, I am a webmaster and a
sysadmin so that was no big deal other than telling everybody who needed
to know. I am thinking of writing a script that will blacklist any IP
that sends mail to that account and let my firewall deal with it at the
IP level. We all know what that scheme won't work, but I am so dammed
frustrated.
I am working with spamassassin and my problem with it is that it takes
too long and consumes too much virtual ram to process messages in a
timely fashion. I think the answer is a faster and bigger (more ram)
server. If so, then this will be a real expense due to spam. For web
serving, name serving, firewall, and file serving, my little server is
perfectly adequate. Only spam detection snows it. As I said, dammed
frustrating.
