The task you're talking about is exceptionally easy (comparatively) with Sendmail::Milter and Sendmail for instance, if you know Perl.

IMHO it's borderline harrassment. Shut em' down!!!!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2531114 Mon, 18 Feb 2002 04:47:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2530149 anon : Encourage your ISP to block mail originating from open relays. Some, including Earthlink, already do. Report any that you find to your ISP to be added to that block list.

Also, if you only receive legitimate email from a set list of people, you can setup your email program to filter out anything that comes in from someone not on that list. It doesnt prevent it from getting sent to you, but it does make it easier to not have to look at.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2530149 Mon, 18 Feb 2002 00:33:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2524574 fhole : Vikings like spam!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2524574 Sun, 17 Feb 2002 13:32:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2524416 PTS : I hate them too, and think they should be branded with a giant "L" on the forehead and buttocks...

I make use of both Spamcop and Spamkiller, but the point is this: WE should not have to go through all this to keep the garbage out of our inboxes. Some of the porn stuff is the worst; some are actually including GRAPHIC images that show up in the preview pane, and could make for a most uncomfortable situation when the mail program is run with others in the room. I've taken more irate calls from spouses over this than I care to count. And I won't even get into the ones that promote ILLEGAL content.

Yes, they should be hunted down and shot on sight. But looking to the government for a solution is most likely a lost cause; these people will come up with enough $$ to either kill any meaningful legislation or neuter it just enough to make it useless. Damn them all!!!!

Thats a simple job. Just make the people with the open mail relay's responsible for anything which comes out of their relay, and I guarantee it will close. And if they dont take responsibility, close them to your network.

Is there a way I can set my main program to reject mail from a specific relay with a reply letter?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2522929 Sun, 17 Feb 2002 09:13:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2521739 sonofjay : I wish there was some kind of enforcement to stop these a**holes. Sadly the only way it will ever happen is if they are forced to do it through legislation.

Nice experiment by the way!
