Domino Spam filtering techniques

Unethical e-mail senders bear little or no cost for mass distribution of messages, yet normal e-mail users are forced to spend time and effort purging fraudulent and otherwise unwanted mail from their mailboxes. In this article, I describe ways that computer code can help eliminate unsolicited commercial e-mail, viruses, trojans, and worms, as well as frauds perpetrated electronically and other undesired and troublesome e-mail. In some sense, the final and best solution for eliminating spam will probably take place on a legal level. In the meantime, however, you can do some things from a code perspective that can serve as an interim solution to the problem, until (if ever) the laws begin to evolve at the same rate as public frustration.

Prevent inbound spam in Lotus Domino Mail Server part2

DNS blacklist filters overview

DNS blacklist filters are a new and powerful feature in Domino 6 and one of the more effective weapons against spam. With the DNS blacklist filters enabled, Domino will check inbound mail to see whether it originates from a mail server that is listed in one or more DNS blacklists (DNSBLs).

DNSBLs are databases that keep records of Internet SMTP mail hosts that are known sources of spam or permit open mail relaying. DNSBLs are maintained by many sources, both free and fee-based, and their effectiveness varies, so you may need to experiment with different DNSBLs to see how effective they are in your environment.
