Scam-backscatter software protects mail servers from backscatter (bounce and accept) by blocking them in systems without local mailboxes. Its aim is to prevent the spread of unwanted emails and ensure safe communication.
Backscatter is a serious problem that arises when a mail server accepts an email with a forged sender address and generates a bounce (non-delivery receipt) to the sending address. If you want to avoid such scenarios, then Scam-backscatter is here to safeguard your mailbox from scammers and spammers.
The installation process is simple, and you can start using it in minutes. All you need to do is extract the scam-backscatter tarball, change the current directory to where the source code was extracted, and rename the Makefile depending on the operating system you are using.
Once you have renamed the Makefile, it's time to compile scam-archiver by typing 'make.' Then, copy the scam-back file to the appropriate location and generate a new sendmail configuration with the additional settings provided.
After that, you need to create a user that will run the milter and create the /var/spool/scam directory, ensuring that the user has read-write access to it.
In summary, Scam-backscatter is an all-in-one software that every mail server owner should have. It is easy to install and will prevent scammers and spammers from using your mail server as a backscatter source, saving you time and stress. Try it today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your mails are secure.
