Hi

Advice requested regarding blocking incoming spam

- We block the sender address and the originating IP, however, this does not help as the spam then comes in from a different address or IP
- From the client side it seems the spam is continuing without fail
- Emails seems to originate from .eu and .it (Italy) domains

We are looking at blocking a particular subject as the subject is the only constant I can see in all the spam coming in

Any advice or guidance will be appreciated

Came right with adding custom SpamAssassin rule

Historically, there was the MCP for blocking content: /viewtopic.php?f=14&t=444 but this is no longer recommended.

Things are kept simple by adding in your own SpamAssassin rules into /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Any instructions on adding your own spamassassin rules should help you tweak your system to help catch these annoying junk messages.
