E-mail spam is a real problem, and at Concordia, we're fighting the problem as best we can. To read more about what spam is and why it's a problem, please see:

• Fight Spam on the Internet!
• CAUCE
• Anti-spam provisions in sendmail
• Neil Schwartzman's antispam site

Information is available on Concordia's "central" antispam measures:

• Information for users
• Debugging mail problems related to antispam
• Announcement to the sysadmin community
• Letter to local ISPs
• Details about our sendmail set-up
• Concordia relay hosts

To use the MAPS RBL (Mail Abuse Protection System Realtime Blackhole List) via procmail instead of via sendmail (and thus permit each use to decide on whether to use it, or examine its performance nondestructively before deciding to implement it), see our program rblchk.

The MAPS information became a paid service in the summer of 2001. Concordia has subscribed to this service; information is available on how to query the MAPS from Concordia.
