Spam handling
+
+Debian developers have a wide variety of loud and conflicting opinions
+about what constitutes correct handling of their mail, making it impossible for
+an admin to choose a single setup that fits all use cases.
+
+
+
+Instead, we invite you to configure your own spam handling.
+
+
+
+Some options available to you are:
+
+
+ - bATVToken (to be enabled before 1/1/2010, with any luck) BATV
+ private token for address rewriting. Useful in combatting bounce forgery, but
+ requires configuration on your own mail relay(s).
+
- emailForward Address to forward your mail to. Setting this and
+ then rejecting mail from d.o machines is less than helpful.
+
- mailCallout Whether or not to use Sender Address Verification.
+
- mailContentInspectionAction One of reject, markup, or blackhole.
+ Applies to checks done on the content of message bodies, such as spam and
+ virus checks. Reject is default, and will reject the mail if a match occurs.
+ Markup will add a header and then forward the mail to you anyway. Blackhole
+ will accept the mail and silently discard it.
+
- mailDefaultOptions Whether to enable the 'normal' set of
+ SMTP time checks that DSA decide are appropriate. Currently includes greylisting
+ and some RBLs. Defaults to true.
+
- mailGreylisting Whether to enable greylisting.
+
- mailRBL Set of RBLs to use.
+
- mailRHSBL Set of RHSBLs to use.
+
- mailWhitelist Sender envelopes to whitelist.
+
- mailDisableMessage Absolute last resort measure - will disable
+ incoming mail from all machines not part of the Debian host list (see
+ /var/lib/misc/thishost/debianhosts on any d.o machine). This makes it very
+ difficult for things like automated pings and mass mailings to all concerned
+ DDs about changes to happen, and is strongly discouraged.
