• Spam Bashing

    We finally have our spam filtering back in place at kulish.com. We’ve set it to a semi-aggressive filter where pretty much every incoming email is marked with a spam score.

    We’re using the postfix+amavis+clamd+spamassassin setup.

    While we’ve been doing without it for a few months (using client side stuff until I found time), I still don’t remember it working this well on the last server install.

    Here’s a wopper of an email, just after the installation and testing were completed. The receiving parties and server names have been sanitized to protect the marginally innocent (**PROTECTED**).
