Spam is out of Control!

Posted by geeknews at 2:14 AM on October 4, 2006

We have been using all of the regular stuff you use on ones own dedicated server but I will be honest the Junk mail is killing me. I have started to hunt for a solution out there that will help with the situations. What I would like to use is a service like JunkMailFilter.com but there site design is such I cannot even figure out how to sign up with them. Pretty sad when the site is not intuitive enough to figure out how to setup an account.

I also don’t care for how their pricing is tiered I will need more than a thousand inbounds a month but I need a lot less than there next level of service. If you have a good solution that you are using I really would like to here from you as I am about to get a solution that will help me deal with all the junk coming in.

    Reread that… “up to 1000 delivered email messages a week” that is the $100 a year plan.

    Looking at the site more, it looks like you have to contac them to get signed up. That is stupid.

    Have a look at this open source program called ASSP (Anti Spam SMTP Proxy – http://assp.sourceforge.net/ )
    I’ve been using it for almost three years now, and it’s currently processing 2-3K emails a day on a W2K server, but it runs on any OS though.

    I was using http://cashette.com for a while, but then their servers took a hit and all my email was clogged up for like a 1/2 a day.
