[Shop-talk] spam email just keeps on coming

[Mark J Bradakis]

Spam exists because spam works. Sure, you may get a 0.00001% success rate, but when you send out millions
and millions of emails, that miniscule percentage translates to profits.

The Team.Net mail server gets a lot of spam. These list addresses have been around for decades, all the
spammers have them. About 200 messages per day get caught by the postfix filters. I need to work on the
filters to start trying to catch some of this season's letters from Santa campaigns.

About 5 - 600 get through to the mailman filters and are caught there. Ones that are held for administrator
approval ( that's me ) currently number 16,995. I'll see how many more come in by the time I am done writing
this. So at least these Team.Net lists are not a source of spam, that's why you folks pay me the big bucks
to do all this behind the curtain stuff. Like some of the DKIM name server items on my todo list.

Fun.

mjb, overpaid and underworked, as usual.

PS: Only 5 more came in while typing this. Not bad.
