Hello all,
After I received lots of spam mails in my standard inbox I tried using
ratfs on my mail server. It seems to work according to the man page.
However, I have some wildcard blocks for certain domains configured and
noticed that mails from these domains still come through. My
configuration lines look like this:
*block example.com!*
*block *.example.com!*
Why? What could possibly go wrong?
The other question is more general. Managing block domains manually is
tedious and doesn't save you from all sources. Integrating spamhaus (for
example) would be a great addition. Has somebody tried that?

i wrote a spamhaus backend, jus simple rc code, i will dig it out.
i also extended ratfs a bit to allow you to block by reverse dns address. this allows you to block dialup/adsl/cable modem addresses easily as, at the time most of my spam came from botnets on peoples windows machines.
i probably still have that too.

My mail server setup is quite old (or a little corrupt), I don't have a
validatesender in my /mail/lib at all. I'll have to look where I can get
that.

That's unfortunate. I hoped this would be better. On the other hand, I
assume your mail address is published more often than mine?

not sure why validatesender isn’t included in the distribution, but it’s called by smtpd. here’s mine:
http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/mail/lib/validatesender
i used to use ratfs, but now i just add especially egregious offenders as -k flags to smtpd itself.
