Not quite sure I follow? Unless you mean "only allow emails to specific email addresses you've noted down", in which case, yeah, that works but also means a lot of admin when you want to use a new one (plus there's 10+ other people who use my servers for email, not just me.)
> unless you publish your address globally?
At least one of my email addresses has been published globally since ~1995. Others since ~2000.

- GoblinSlayer 4y agoAs I understand, spam filters like postscreen are designed as reverse proxies or relay servers. IIRC spamgourmet supports your scenario.
- zimpenfish 4y ago> IIRC spamgourmet supports your scenario. Not really - that's a limited use alias. Doesn't really work for when you want to keep getting email from places. Also if I'm reading that correctly, spammers can just send mail to <randomword>.20.<knownaccount>@spamgourmet.com and you can't protect against those 20 spams.
