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.

validatesender checks /mail/lib/spamhaus, i update it via cron.

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.

i still receive tons of spam.

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