About 90% of the email I receive is spam. Spamassassin
does a great job of blocking this spam, but it is still consuming
a huge amount of bandwidth.
My current ideas to prevent this are:
1) retire existing email addresses
(a very big headache)
2) reply to all spam with fake bounces
(most spam has fake addresses and
this just increases bandwidth usage)
3) switch from postfix to exim, so that I can block spam at smtp time.
(If someone has tried this, does this have any effect on the
total amount of spam?)
Does anyone know of any other way to potentially reduce the initial
pre-filtered amount of spam?
Thanks,
Jon.
