"VPC email Spam blocking"

Posted by Ben_Chiu on 09-06-05 at 16:48z
Greetings!

In our ongoing battle to stop the spamming hoards, we've implemented RBL (Real-time Black List) filtering. This should stop most spam sent to the public email addresses harvested by bots (staff address are only viewable to the general public). The RBL's should also kill most Spam sent to private accounts that come from open relays, virus/trojan infected computers, and known spamming organizations.

Please note that most FlightAdventures accounts do not get any Spam at all because we've got protections in place to tarpit random address spamming. The only spam that has been getting through were harvested from the web (as in the Staff accounts) and those picked up by virus infected computer address books. The new RBL system should help with all of these.

Please let me know if after a few days you've noticed a decrease in Spam. If there's no change, there are more RBL's to sign up for yet.

Thanks!


Ben
