[NTLUG:Discuss] An idea about the next presentation

[Stuart Johnston]

FYI, I recently implemented selective greylisting on my server using Exim and greylistd.  It was 
very easy to setup and has reduced my spam to about 2/day without SpamAssassin.  Only a few 
legitimate mails have been delayed, mostly newsletters and other bulk mail.

However, I have also seen a paypal phish that made its way through the greylist by resending 3 hours 
later.

I'm in the process of moving my personal email to Tuffmail.com, though.  They have impressively 
detailed spam blocking options.  I've decided that I get enough anxiety from managing the email 
server at work so I'd like to see what it is like to let someone else worry about my personal email 
for a while.
