Better Spam Protection!

[Gene Steinberg]

So I've set SpamAssassin down to 2.5 from the standard 5. I make sure all missed junk mail goes to the Spam folder, and I judiciously add exceptions to whitelists and blacklists on my Plesk 12.5.30 server.

I've also installed the paid version of MagicSpam. It's a little better than the freebie version, but it still isn't as effective as I'd hope (they say that some of the newer spam servers aren't listed in the databases yet).

So I still receive several dozen uncaught junk mails in each of several major email accounts every single day.

Are there other free or low-cost spam protection methods I might look into?

Peace,
Gene

The following blacklists get the most out of MagicSpam. See Attachment.

Sorbs is blocking some gmail servers at the moment, and this issues doesnt seem to be getting resolved either as there seems to be a standoff between SORBs and Google: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4acuqf/sorbs_blacklisting_gmail_servers/ and https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/HruhcLvodkY

There needs to be some regulation of these blacklisters.
