i do NOT want to receive spams...
- i dont want it to occupy expensive disk space in
/var/spool/{mail,spamstuff}
- i want the spam to bounce and go back to the
spammers /var/spool/mail/{root,postmaster} mailboxes
- 1/2 of the 2,000 spams they tried to send in Oct fails headers
and messageID tests and subject line tests
( i dont see the spam at all - which is what i want )
- there is no need for content checking
i do NOT want to go check the potential spams again ... it just costs me
double or triple to process/check the spam the 2nd time

yup.. i agree... but...
until i get my own rbls setup... i'll continue to use other peoples
"automated" rbls... and automated antispam features in the MTA
and i assume they are bright enough to keep a copy of the spam that was
used as evidence to add their email address or domain to their rbl list
and probably will continue to use other people's software until i can
write my own better/worst version or find a better one that does a better
job that does the same thing
have fun
