Re: [vps-mail] I Hate Spam! Time for an update.

[Judson Vaughn <jud@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like the tone of this thread. I wish several of us (translated: you) 
would come up with some spam fighting best practices.

I feel like I'm waging my little piecemeal battle but sure would like to 
sit at the feet of some of the great spam warriors on this list. It 
could be good to have it all in one place as a procedure for VPS servers.
