Overview: For the past few years e-mail administrators have had to work overtime trying to block, filter, and eradicate spam. Regrettably, the purveyors of unsolicited bulk e-mail continue to refine their distribution methods in an effort to thwart the filters and other preventive techniques deployed by IT professionals administering enterprise e-mail servers. The book, sendmail Milters: A Guide for Fighting Spam, explains what steps spammers are willing to take to get past your defenses, and it offers several ways that e-mail administrators can fight back. This selected chapter, "Setting Up a Bait Machine," demonstrates how to configure a test environment in which you can experiment with the latest spam-busting techniques.
