Chapter 2. Preventing unwanted e-mail and spam
13
blocking techniques if you are looking to take an aggressive approach against
spam.
2.2.1 At the gateway
It is possible to subscribe to third party services or purchase network devices that
aim to stop spam even before your mail server receives it. These services often
act as a mail relay, and screen incoming mail for content or origin. Many ISPs
and other service providers offer this as a service with a cost per megabyte of
spam. Keep in mind that subscribing to these services may require a change to
your mx (DNS mail delivery) records which, if not handled correctly, could cause
a loss of mail during the transition. If you plan to use a third party or gateway
device or service, be sure that you are aware of the technology that is used and
the potential for false positives or friendly mail rejections. The ideal configuration
rejects all spam while allowing all real mail through. Even if your organization
employs some sort of spam gateway, it may also be a good idea to use other
methods of spam rejection.
2.2.2 At the server
Stopping spam at the server and sending a rejection can be a very effective way
of dealing with these messages. There are several configuration areas in Notes
Domino 6 that can be set to help reject spam, both at the SMTP listener level and
at the Domino router level. At the listener, the following options are available in
Domino 6:
Inbound Relay Control and Enforcement
Inbound Intended Recipient Controls
Disabled SMTP Routing to Groups
Inbound Connection Controls
Inbound Sender Controls
At the router, the server can be configured to deal with spam using server-based
mail rules. These rules can be used to filter out specific recipient addresses or
other specific criteria.
Inbound authorization settings can be used to reject known spam originators or
known open relays. Open relays are servers that are configured to allow the
sending of third party messages, including spam. You should always configure
your server to not allow open relaying of mail to help fight spam. New in Notes
Domino 6 are server mail rules and DNS blacklist support. Using server mail
rules you can reject messages based on content (including recipient and
originator.) If your server is configured with DNS blacklist lookups enabled, when
a message arrives an external directory is consulted (much like a DNS lookup)
and if the sender’s address is found in the directory, the message is considered
