  • This kind of blocking tends not to be very effective because the spammers change what they send to avoid using the keywords in your list; hence "v14gr4". You might get a more useful answer if you re-phrase your question to "How can I best stop spam being sent through my Postfix server?" – Ladadadada Jul 13 '12 at 07:19
  • Hold on a moment... You've referred to emails that are *sent* through your server twice now. Your best bet is to kick the spammers off your service, *not* to play around with word lists. Spam, after all, is about consent, not content. – Rob Moir Jul 13 '12 at 07:29

Spammers tend to change their wording often to avoid such blocking, so it'll be hard to build a blocking list that will work for a long time. I would have a look at spamassassin, an opensource product that will update its own settings to adapt to the changes that spammers make.

  • Thanks for your suggestion jenny D but i need a list of words because spamassassin is not required in my mail server because we need to only send mails from it,and speed is an issue. – ACHAL Jul 13 '12 at 07:21
  • I'm sorry to say that a list of words is highly unlikely to help you. If there were such a list that worked, there would be no spam problem. I think you need to reframe the question. Who is it that you're afraind will send spam? Who is using the server - is it people in your company, or is it your customers, or is it maybe used to send email from forms on a web server, or all three? Whatever solution you come up with will be more complex than a list of words and will depend on what type of spam problem you're trying to solve. – Jenny D Jul 13 '12 at 07:26
