All spammers are not equal. There are sophisticated spammer and
unsophisticated ones. The spammers that use open relays are in the
second category. I'm already blocking 100% in this class of spammer.And
- if I were an open relay spammer and I could only send one message a
minute and that message bounced - I think I would find a better open
relay to use. So - the open relay spammers would be 100% discouraged by
my setup. Why would the bother to crack my system when there are so make
other open relays that are far easier?
As to new tactics - it's actually easier to catch spam these days.
Spammers try to be clever and it's their clever tricks that give them
away. i manage to catch a far higher percentage of spam than I used to.
