How were the three different applications that EITS uses to block spam on UGAMail (Realtime Block Lists, Greylisting, and SpamAssassin) selected?
EITS always completes a comprehensive evaluation and due-diligence assessment before deploying any major production software application. This is a multi-step process that involves extensive research, consultation with peers in academia and industry, the use of IT consultants, and detailed testing. Accordingly, we have identified and deployed three major industry-standard spam reduction tools to reduce spam on UGAMail. • Realtime Block lists (RBLs) • Greylisting • SpamAssassin These are all industry-standard tools, deployed according to best-practice standards, and are in use at many commercial and academic institutions worldwide. Several of these institutions were contacted by EITS before deploying the tools here at UGA, and they all reported a substantial reduction in spam with very minimal problems.
