- Recent Spam Surge Linked to Russian Bot Herders
- Stronger anti-spam measures in place. In addition to http://www.spamhaus.org we are now using http://www.sorbs.net to check incoming mail before acceptance. In similar fashion to Spamhaus and the former ORDB, senders that are in the SORBS database will receive a message with a link to the SORBS web site. SORBS is quite aggressive and rejections will be monitored. For details see Anti-Spam measures in our Getting Started guide. If you are aware of a specific source of e-mail that is being filtered inappropriately, please contact Carl Karcher to have the sender's address added to the exceptions list. 9/11/06
