Search for a post written by me with the words "qmail" and "rblsmtpd". The thread is where I'm talking to Apollo77 about various spam control methods. I'm sure you will find some good solutions in that thread.

spamassassin is already running on the server but its worthless. still am getting many spam/Junk emails.
Its really pathetic.....dunno how can i stop it.
some of the emails are #@[] and all are from different IPs.

Any correct step to stop all this.

Thanks,
Dig

Using the qregex patch, you can block mail from addresses with those weird characters. For example you can construct a regex that will block mail from any address that has more than one @ symbol.

The thread I mentioned earlier has a discussion about the qregex patch, where to find it, how to install, etc.
