Default [IBC] spam filtering

A recurring lament/thread of discussion on the list has been the amazing
amounts of spam, trojans, worms, virii, malicious code, etc. is received by
those of us who do not munge our email addies. Recently when my computer had
a myocardial infarction, in just 30 hours my inbox flooded to overflowing
with this offal, resulting in havoc as legitimate mail bounced.

I've been tryin a new spam filtering service and frankly, I'm in awe. Not a
single piece of junk email, not ONE since I started using it. Best of all,
the spam it does trap does not sit on my mail server, so even if I can't get
to my mailbox for several days t won't fill up with offers to enlarge my
breasts and letters from Nigerian generals asking me to help move
$20,000,000 into my bank account. In four days is has caught over 300 pieces
of junk mail, 4 iterations of the klez worm, and several other suspicious
attachments.

Anyway, if anyone is interested it's choicemail, located at
http://www.digiportal.com

David:

I sent a test message to you and it bounced back. I didn't get a form
to fill out and return as was described on the software page.

So basically the software bounces any message that is not from an
authorized sender. I would be afraid of missing alot of valid e-mail.
