August 4, 201015 yr Hi NQ, just wondering, did anyone add : reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions ? If yes, what longterm experiences ? My logfiles looks like this after I put this in, just wondering is it working too good and ham is rejected ? 108.879M Bytes accepted 114,168,155 26.325M Bytes sent via SMTP 27,603,524 122.256M Bytes delivered 128,194,663 1.652K Bytes forwarded 1,692 ======== ================================================ 2606 Accepted 8.60% 27689 Rejected 91.40% -------- ------------------------------------------------ 30295 Total 100.00% ======== ================================================ 126 5xx Reject relay denied 0.46% 5845 5xx Reject unknown user 21.11% 21718 5xx Reject RBL 78.44% -------- ------------------------------------------------ 27689 Total 5xx Rejects 100.00%
August 7, 201015 yr Almost 80% Spam sounds reasonable. Still i am careful with rejecting mails based on a combo blacklist like zen, which uses spamhaus PBL and XBL, i still move those to a .spam folder.
August 8, 201015 yr Since I use spamhouse I have nearly no more spam and I never heard about rejected ham. Rejecting messages is in my opinion better than move them into a spam folder. I you reject ham the sender will be informed by his mail server and can contact you on a different way. If ham gets moved into the spam folder and you get a lot of spam, you will not find it. Even if you check your spam folder regularly, the chance that you find this message is very low. I think most users delete the spam folder without checking anything.
