I gave this a try with a delay of 30 seconds, which was widely
suggested. It definitely did kill spam, but I ran into a problem with
it. Emails from paypal/ebay were not coming in (I have clients that
use paypal accounts and it was fairly important they get those emails).
Also charter.net had problems as well. Those are just the ones that
I was able to diagnose and find, could be others for all I know.
Scott Geiger Quoting Matt <mhoppes@gmail.com>: I've heard that one way to combat spammers is to put a little delay prior to the mail server "picking up".. that is.. perhaps a 10 or 15 second delay before the initial 'HELO'. Can anyone speak to this... that is, does it work? And if it does, how have you made it work with qmail? |
