Bayes can be useful, though I don't even bother using that on my own mail server

I'm currently using:
Greylisting - postgrey as I'm using postfix
Geoip ACLs. - If the sending IP is from Asia it gets dropped
SpamHaus - If the sending ip is listed in XBL it gets dropped

End result .. I only get about one spam a day

Well I have to commend the webhosts of my recent spam sender - after speaking to them it is very apparent that they take the issue very seriously.

It also becomes more apparent that Michele is infamous when it comes to spam in Ireland (and in particular his dislike of same ). (I didn't mention you Michele - they did)

From this experience I know that my first port of call in any future instance of an Irish spammer is going to be their webhost.

Thanks for the help Michele
