We know spammers' “known good ”address lists are anything but
Enter obviously bogus addresses into your blacklist with spamdb -T
$ spamdb -T -a "<wkitp98zpu.fsf@datadok.no>"
Send email to <wkitp98zpu.fsf@datadok.no>, you get trapped for 24 hours.
Few if any false positives; repeat offenders stay in.
Makes a real dent in the spam not caught by greylisting.
Used by Bob Beck at University of Alberta to generate an excellent, public blacklist.
