1 Filtering out SPAM from your site

3Introduction:
4 The FreeBSD Project filters spam, unsolicited commerical
5e-mail, from its mailing lists. The filter has two parts: databases
6and rulesets. We have rulesets to /etc/sendmail.cf, check_rcpt,
7check_relay, check_rbl, check_mail and xlat. (xlat is for testing
8only, as explained in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.additions.) These
9rulesets use three databases. The denyip, a list of IP addresses,
10spamsites, a list of domains, and fakenames, a list of bogus
11usernames (such as investor and success). We do not accept mail
