I just don't want mail from others that are sending me bulk crap telling me how inadequate my manhood is or plugging the next new penny stock, or can't take 5 minutes to read how to setup their server properly.Luke S Crawford wrote:considering just how many people use greylisting, this is likely a bad idea. Greylisting works by rejecting the first message from a newserver with a 4xx (temporary) error code. If the server tries again immediately or never tries again, it's probably a spammer. If the server waits a reasonable period of time (say, 30 minutes) and then re-sends themail, it's probably legit, and the greylist program puts that server on the whitelist so mail from that server goes through right away next time.Many people set things up such that if you try again immediately, you getput on a blacklist, as you are probably a spammer.I really don't understand why people just don't turn off their mailservers if they don't want mail from others.
If someone wants to send me legitimate mail, I'll do my best to accept it. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
