[NTLUG:Discuss] Wayne Walker: Lord of the email server

[. Daniel]

Just wanted to follow up with everyone who cares about spam control.

As of about 1:30pm today, I followed the guide indicated below while 
implementing this relaydelay greylisting method.  I set up the retry delay 
to -1 as per the instructions which makes ANY re-attempt at delivering 
email go through at any delay.  

The spam that has been flooding me for the past couple of weeks has just 
STOPPED dead in its tracks.  No more hot stock picks.  (That's the thing 
that has been flooding me the most lately.)  It's 4:30pm now and ordinarily 
I would have received at least another dozen of those messages and usually 
more by now.  Meanwhile, regular email from lists including yahoo are just 
coming in as normal... including regular commercial emails that I don't 
mind from the likes of Amazon.com, Paypal and the like.

Wayne.  Can't thank you ENOUGH for your presentation and all that it had 
given me.  I had waited and waited until I was mentally prepared to do the 
deal and it turned out to be a lot easier than I anticipated.
