Greylisting #email

🕟︎ - 2004-06-07

I am trying out Greylisting as well, please report any problems - missing email and so on.

I have turned it off again. It has too many adverse effects on machines that are online for short periods of time. Also the bulk of the spam I get is via a MTA that I have no control over, so greylisting only has potential to squelch 10-20% of my spam.

How to comment, in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.

To post a comment here, you need to:

  • Configure a newsreader¹ to connect to the server koldfront.dk on port 1119 using nntps (nntp over TLS).
  • Open the newsgroup called lantern.koldfront and post a follow up to the article.
¹ Such as Thunderbird, Pan, slrn, tin or Gnus (part of Emacs).

Or, you can fill in this form:
