Abstract
Keywords: Postfix, spam, sender address verification, RBL, RHSBL, blacklist
The amount of unwanted commercial email (UCE/UBE/spam) has increased tremendously over the last years. Postfix can be used to stem the tide of spam using various methods like sender address verification, content filters, use of blacklists and manual black- and whitelists. This talk will outline the options you have with recent Postfix snapshots.
Required knowledge:
A fluency in English, and an interest in the technical details of SMTP and DNS should suffice. Some postmaster and network administration experience would be helpful.
