There is only one account on this system: Mine. And I hate spam! Furthermore, the mail daemon on this system does not allow relaying, so it is virtually impossible to receive junk mail from this system.
Junk mail sent to this system will always be met with a formal complaint,
often resulting in termination of the offending account.
Besides that, spam is forwarded to
SpamCop
and Pyzor.
In case of mass mailings from or on behalf of a company registered in the
Netherlands, a complaint is filed with the
Authority for Consumers & Markets
(ACM). The ACM can impose fines up to
€ 450,000.-.
Mass mailings which are the result of notoriously vulnerable email clients or
- servers being infected by a worm are considered to be UBE.
The same applies to so called 'email virus warnings' (which are in effect anti
virus software spam) and fake (joe job) bounces.
Spam complaints which do not contain the complete original offending message
INCLUDING ALL HEADERS will also be
treated as spam!
DSN's ('MAIL FROM: <>') should always contain the full headers of the
original message. Bounce messages which do not contain all header lines or
bounces of messages which did not originate from this system (joe job)
are rejected by this system.
Error messages which are not from '<>' are also considered spam and
will also be added to the spam hall of shame.
The same applies to confirmations of mails (EG list subscriptions) which are
the result of joe jobs (lack of SPF
filtering).
Receiving spam from hosts in the same domain several times, will lead to
blacklisting of this domain.
Headers of all spam sent to this system will be added to the
spam hall of shame.
The complete spam archive is available to legitimate spam investigators.
Furthermore, I reserve the right to publish any communication between spammers
and me in whole or in part.
Mail from hosts of which the reverse lookup doesn't succeed or match, mail from
hosts which are in a domain without a MX and mail of which the sender or
recipient can not be verified, are rejected by this system.
The same applies to email without a HELO / EHLO that matches the IP nr or an
IP nr that matches the HELO / EHLO, sensible subject or RFC compliant
Message-Id.
Mail from hosts blacklisted by the organisations mentioned above is also
rejected. These blacklists include persistent spammers, domains without a valid
abuse or postmaster account and domains with a broken whois registration.
Mail from hosts which accept mail for non existing users only to send a
bounce message later is also rejected by this system.
Mail using a character set other then US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15
or UTF-8, or mail in languages other then Dutch or English. is rejected.
Non-ASCII in headers is allowed, provided it's UTF-8. All other non-ASCII in
headers is rejected.
Mail with attachments using proprietary file formats (such as MS Word;
use ODF instead)
and attachments without a filename are rejected.
Mail which contains spam-specific strings is also rejected by this system.
Mail from aol.com, gmail.com (Google), hotmail.com, msn.com and yahoo.com is only accepted from hosts in the same domain.
Mail from fundamentally broken mailinglists is also blocked.
These include googlegroups.com and myfanbox.com.
All mail from mailinglists which I did not subscribe to is blocked.
Hosts and
domains sending sending those
mails are blacklisted.
My blacklist lists domains which sent meaningless error messages, are persistent spammers, perfectly tasteless or which don't accept any mail.
