The mailserver where @meat.net gets mail recently implemented greylisting. As a result, my spamload has dropped dramatically. How much? So much that one of the other people who still uses his @meat.net address contacted me via IM today to wonder where his stripper spam had gone.
I ran some stats:
Date | Local spam | All spam |

Jan 23 | 289 | 291 |
Jan 24 | 422 | 426 |
Jan 25 | 391 | 399 |

“all spam” includes spam that is forwarded from other accounts, and is this immune to greylisting… damnit. So there you have it. From 357 spam on friday (the last full day without greylisting) to 15 spam on sunday (the first full day with greylisting). Not bad. Too bad about that other junk coming in from other addresses.
