Less Spam to control
A week ago, I added a number of rules in the spamfilter, to reject connection if the sender or subject contained particular words that were very frequent in the quarantained and , to a lesser extent, in discarded messages: Wolrds like “Gaming”, “casino”, “Viagra” – normally filtered by PMAS< now won't get that far: the connection is now silently dropped and these messages will not even reach the scanner. Since then, the number of messages in quarantaine has dropped significantly: I have now less than half the number of quarantained messages - each day. Not bad. There is still something to check on the system - will do so next friday.
