 Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 6:09 pm Post subject: [17/11/06] Improved spam blocking introduced |
| |
All of our shared servers now include improved automatic spam blocking. Every incoming message is checked against http://www.surbl.org/  blacklists. If they match, the message is rejected. This happens before the message is downloaded by the server.
This was setup on Pluto at 23:00 last night, currently this new system has blocked 17035 spam messages from being downloaded on that server alone! You can see up to date statistics on how many messages have been blocked on our status page.
The beauty is that the server doesn't waste resources downloading, and then running SpamAssassin/BoxTrapper on these messages anymore. This means less spam and lower server load for all.

The SURBL lists have now been replaced by the SpamHaus and SpamCop lists.
Thanks,
Andrew
