I just installed SpamAssassin and got it working, but it just drops or marks spam after it has already accepted it. While this /dev/null type behavior is great, I would rather discourage spammers by refusing the connection period.
I was wondering if there is a way of using spamd/spamc to reject the spammers SMTP connection by inserting a ruleset in the sendmail.mc or cf. I was hoping for a result similar to that of the RBL mc's. FEATURE(dnsbl,`dun.dnsrbl.net')dnl FEATURE(dnsbl,`spam.dnsrbl.net')dnl FEATURE(dnsbl,`blackholes.mail-abuse.org')dnl FEATURE(dnsbl,`list.dsbl.org')dnl FEATURE(dnsbl,`multihop.dsbl.org')dnl FEATURE(dnsbl,`unconfirmed.dsbl.org')dnl etc... I imagine there might be a way to pipe the incoming data to spamc and return a boolean response weather or not to accept the connection. In reponse to a dropped connection it would reply with error codes and the spam condition of the mail. Am I just fantasizing? If so where are the resourses I need to start coding this one up?
