Question Help to stop incoming spam

[D4NY]

We are receiveing tons of spam and we are interested to apply SPF spam protection.
At the moment we are using only DNSBL with sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, nothing else.
How can we configure in the best way our plesk to avoid incoming spam?
Can someone post a working configuration please?

Hi D4NY,

I recommend the following DNSBL 's: cbl.abuseat.org;sbl.spamhaus.org;xbl.spamhaus.org

and we are interested to apply SPF spam protection.

If you want tons of examples, investigations, explanations, suggestions, pls. use as well the Plesk forum search with the example - search - keywords: => https://talk.plesk.com/search/search?&keywords=SPF+DNS+DKIM+DMARC

In addition, you should consider to use IMAP instead of POP3 for mail - accounts with common account-names ( "info" / "webmaster" / "office" / "admin" / ... ) and be sure to move SPAM into your SPAM - folders, so that spamassassin has the chance "to learn" within the daily maintenance task. Don't forget to configure the "learn" - options in your "local.cf" from spamassassin.

It is as well a great help to use additional rule - sets from for example "updates.spamassassin.org", "spamassassin.heinlein-support.de", "sought.rules.yerp.org", "sa.zmi.at", and other preferred rule - sets ( I'm pretty sure, that you will find rule - sets with italien definitions with Google... ) ( updated regulary with cronjobs ). Examples how to setup these cronjobs can be read here: => #4

Consider as well to configure your postfix configuration - files with unique settings... pls. read the detailed postfix - documentation ( => http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html ) to learn, which settings might help you to fight against spam.
