Some hints to reduce spam and such by significant numbers: - Check domain validity (simple check will save about 20%) - Use call back (more complex check kills about 80 to 90% of all bogus messages) - Add central virus and spam filtering. To get a grasp of home usage figure see http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi which I started to record just after the first hype of the current saga of Mydoom variants and other unfriendlies. During breakouts I kill about 90 to 95% of all messages as they fail on simple checks. Hugo. -- All email sent to me is bound to the rules described on my homepage.
