I've recently been getting a lot more spam email (haven't we all) so
I'm looking into ways of dealing with it.
Many people I know use spamarrest. This is basically a subscription
service where you set up an email box with them and redirect your
current addresses to it. It compares any mail sent to it with your
allowed list and forwards on those allowed. Any that are not in the
list, a message get's returned to the sender asking them to fill out a
little verification form. If they correctly fill out the form thay are
added to the allowed list and their mail gets through.
Does anyone know of a similar script (preferably cheap or free) that I
could install on my server to do similar. So far the only php script I
have found cost £200+, a bit out of my price range.
I don't know about any comparable php scripts... BUT... I use
newsguy.com principally for usenet, and my subscription (I think it's
in the neighborhood of $6 or $7 per month) includes 5 email boxes, and
they use SpamHippo, which works pretty damn well... it gray-lists new
senders, holds the message (for uhhhh a week or 30 days or whatever)
and sends a message asking the to click here and do a captcha type
Turing test. If they don't the message doesn't come through, if they
do, the message goes to your inbox. You can white list addresses or
domains manually... all in all a decent solution, and you get good
usenet access, too. Oh, and I think you can forward one or more
regular email accounts through it and get the spamhippo'ing for them,
too.
I like it - your mileage may vary.
