greylisting
  - delay for first mail from a domain

envelope-from checking

requirement to have a valid FQDN in HELO/EHLO (though it does not have to resolve).

postfix: directly sorting out in /etc/postfix/header_checks or /etc/postfix/body_checks

mxallowd, refuses mail on first mx and sees if delivery to second mx is tried

realtime blacklists like
  socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net / dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net / ix.dnsbl.manitu.net / cbl.abuseat.org
  sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org / bl.spamcop.net / web.dnsbl.sorbs.net
  con: gotta trust the lists, they can censor that way    
    

That still leaves me with a hundred to two hundred spams per day, all
but a few per week of which are caught by spamprobe, which is a Baysean
filter.

Reject senders with reverse DNS containing their IP
  also catches homesend mails so.. really strips down.
  
Reject senders with reverse subdomain containing blacklisted works 
  (ex: *dyn*.foo.com, *dsl*.foo.com, *ppp*.foo.com, ...)
  
Reject senders which are not MX

• Description: your linux-distro changed behaviour with an update, java is just trying ipv6 connection here and fails.
• Solutions:
  • 'sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0' orders to also try ipv4 connections, use /etc/sysctl.conf for the setting to survive reboots.
  • or run java with these additional parameters: ”-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true”
