[nos-bbs] How to avoid SMTP spam mail in mqueue

[Michael E Fox - N6MEF]

If you use a properly configured mail server you should have no problem.  No anti-spam, anti virus solution is perfect. But if you use a combination of blacklists, network based UBE detection, and signature based detection (and keep your signatures up to date) -- i.e. a properly configured mail server -- then you should be able to avoid all but a very few spam messages.

I think of this as I get closer to both having a full time JNOS box
and maybe even doing the net 44 dance.   Our current IP on AX25
experimentation is being done with unrouted 10.x addresses.   That's
working fine - at least as far as the configuration is involved.
Getting good 9k6 RF on 440 MHz is another issue.

So it would be nice to move to 44 net and get connectivity to the
other 44 net members.  However it seems the troubles and dangers of
using a fully routed 44 net scheme isn't worth the benefits.   If I
need access to the home system I can just use the static IP's and
that's going to a (sorta) protected NIX system.

This specially applies to EMail.   I don't know if I need or even want
my 44 net system receiving Email from non-44 non-ham stations.

So what think you who are online now - 44 net or not?   Full internet or not?
