We are using Domino 6 Mail server. I want to know how to block spam mails. Is there any blocking system in Domino Server.

Thanks

Subject: two things,

other than blacklisting wich is already mentioned, I’d enable ‘verify if local recipient exists in the domino directory’ on the SMTP Inbound tab in the configuration document. See the admin help for more info.

Last but not least: there’s a redbook on fighting spam:

You can configure DNSBL (DNS Blocklist) if your server receives mails directly from the internet. This will block mails from servers known as spam servers.Additionally, you can implement server side mail rules.

For both, see Notes administration help for details.

To implement more advanced spam tools (adaptive bayesian filter etc.) you need additional specialized software (as plugins for the domino server or installed as gateway service between your server and the internet.
