Re: [vps-mail] Suggestions for spam on VPS2

["Peter M. Abraham" <peter.abraham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Jim:

We use and recommending using RBL -- real time black hole lists.

Utilizing them has cut down spam from 85% on bad days to 95% on good days.

I would recommend looking into RBL's as well as making sure you are using 
the most up-to-date version of SpamAssassin (2.61).

Thank you.
