Low life worthless scumbag spammers!

How much spam does your email server get? We have a email domain tied to our web page and business. It worked great until we got on the bad list of a spammer.

We were getting over 100 per day from the .EU domain. At least 100 per day from the .TOP domain 50 or so from the .XYZ domain and now several from the .PRESS domain.

How many gift cards can one person win in a day?

Some SPAM is comical. Private Jet rental and a private yacht. Yea, I do that all the time.

I just want to send a Terminator T-1000 after every spammer out there.

We finally get a really good spam filter. Now the spam gets blocked and very few real email messages gets tagged as spam. I still have to dig through the crap to find the pearls but my inbox is not getting a couple hundred messages per day.

I am just venting and I feel better now.

Carry on.

As humanity becomes collectively stupider these sorts of things will increase in frequency. If only one person in 10,000 is dumb enough to fall for it, these guys make money. It costs them virtually nothing to produce it and they simply hijack other people's hardware and bandwidth to distribute it. In a few years it'll be more lucrative as more and more people are dumb enough to fall for these scams.

Set up a good blocker, use blacklists and forget about it.

We need a way to retaliate.

If I can send some way to fry a spammer's computer that would be like my dream come true.

Would work if spammers actually used their own computers.

I would have gone for a BFG 9000. Prolly showing my age there. Who remembers the BFG 9000?

plenty but i rarely see any of it. the few that are delivered to me get caught by thunderbirds filters. Using postfix plus spamassassin on the server, as well as some DNS based blocks

If you run your own server / have root access get BitDefender FRAMS - Free AntiSpam for Mail Servers

Cake to install and works hella good.

Fills in spamassassins holes.
