Sad, really. The ordb database helped us reject a whole slew of spam right off the top. Kudos for the great work over the years, and many happy returns.

Oh well – I guess it’s better to shut the whole thing down if the maintenance was too difficult to keep on top of.

I really should write an entry about the entirely open-source spam filtering system we use at End Point. I call it the “holy grail,” as it does pretty much everything right. No backscatter, no messages rejected without notification and extremely high-performance.
