Obviously we limit to only 1 or 2 reports in an hour to a > particular id Best is to set up something to use 'spamassassin -r' (report) feature. Set up a SpamCop account, put that information in local.cf. SpamCop will scan the emails for uri's add them to uri blacklists, add the server to spamcop blacklists, track down the responsible isp, and pre-format a complain email. If you have DCC and RAZOR, it will also submit the information to those databases. NOTE: YOU DO NOT WANT TO AUTOMATICALLY SEND REPORTS AS THIS _WILL_ SPAM INNOCENT, FORGED DOMAINS ADDING TO THE BACKSCATTER PROBLEMS. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBSD SpamAssassin Ports maintainer Charter member, ICSA labs anti-spam consortium _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(tm).
