Whats configured into your MTA?

I was wondering the web looking at random items, when I came along an article at http://www.worldwidecreations.com titled Stopping spam before the door with SpamCop and IPTables Its a great article with a lot of information and code on how the author is able to grab the offending hosts and place them within IPTables.

Its a great article with a lot of information and code on how the author is able to grab the offending hosts and place them within IPTables.

One thing that I really can’t agree with is the use of IPTables to block mail traffic from an RBL that has in the past and present block many legitimate hosts and email. I’d rather have spam to my account marked as spam so that I can be the judge and correct any false positives. At the moment, all my mail using using Exim with sa-exim (SMTP time spamassassin scanning). This allows for messages to be bounced back at SMTP time!

What is everyone else using for an MTA and how are you filtering spam?

Insane Laptop: Alienware m9750 -

Looks like Alienware will never stop out-doing itself. This bad boy comes packed with up to two 512MB GeForce Go 7950’s using SLI and a slew of Core 2 Duos to pick from. Options include a pair of 200GB HDD’s in RAID 0 for a total of 400 gigs of media storing power. The 17″ 1920 x 1200 res LCD is also sure to impress. Integrated b/g/nwireless, Bluetooth 2.0, and 7.1 high def audio is definitely making a few mouths water at CrunchGear HQ.
