I have been using the greylistd Debian package by Tor Slettnes for well over a year now, and have found something quite astonishing: when I started using greylistd, I received around 30-50 spams a day. I installed greylistd and it cut that by about 80%, which is similar to reports by others. In the last several months, it occurred to me that I don't get many spams at all any more, so I turned off greylistd. I receive almost no spam at all now. Has spam drastically fallen in the last year? One person I know said they get about the same as last year. Is it because the spammers are treating the SMTP "try again later" code the same as a bounce and remove me from their lists?
Believe me, I'm not complaining, but what the heck is up? Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
