Dear Ubuntu Planet,

[jbailey]

I'm on a quest to remove spam from my inbox. I've been killing off GNU mailman lists where the -owners stuff was feeding me spam. Most of my spam now seems to be relayed from @ubuntu.com. Does anyone know if there's a similar solution to what @debian.org has where I can ask it to reply with a bounce saying "Here's my real email address, use that instead pls"?

I suppose I could just set my default email address in LP to something that will do it instead, but I'd rather avoid the WrathOfElmo(tm)

Well, you could just try a simpel spamfighter, theres a very nice plugin for thunderbird called spamato, or are you using another mail client ?

The problem is that using mail relays, I lose alot of information about the sender that I can use for an RBL. spamhaus does alot to get rid of spam for me right at SMTP time.

My @ubuntu.com is an address that I rarely use, but it gets a stupid amount of spam. I use my @raspberryginger.com and it almost all gets caught. So I'm just trying to eliminate those other addresses.

See if you can talk @ubuntu.com into greylisting? Works beautifully for fd.o and other places. Also, try a content-based filter like crm114; it'll catch your spam wherever it comes from. RBLs suck anyway.
