Email display and spammers

Email display and spammers

[Anton Kulchitsky]

I really start to worry that my email that is not available for
spammers (not that is in the header of this message though) is now
available for that bastards to scan from news messages. What is the
best way to substitute different emails for news and email? Is this
really an issue (about spammers)?

Thanks!

(You are going to get spam regardless - my take on it: don't let
spammers dictate your email or news-articles).

Using posting styles is pretty easy?

Possibly.

(With greylisting I get less than 20 spams per day and I have been using
my email-addresses in public for 10-15+ years.)

Talk to me about greylisting, Sir?

I don't think I can explain it better than the plethora of hits Google
turns up for the concept.

Say, wikipedia and greylisting.org:

 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting>
 <http://www.greylisting.org/>

I use sqlgrey with Postfix and Postgresql, which works great in my
setup.

 <http://sqlgrey.sourceforge.net/>


  Have fun!

Ok, sometimes a personal account migth be a better source, but in this
case I'll take your advice and investigate those links. Thanks.

Same here, greylisting+CRM114 on the backend.  It's just not a problem,
except for the occasional delivery delay, which is fine by me.

I use CRM114 for spam-filtering as well - it integrates nicely with Gnus
due to spam.el.


   Thanks!
