Of the email accounts that I have, dand oz net is the only account that regularly receives UCE.
The ISP that serves that account is The River. They've contracted Postini services, so all my
email is first sent there before to The River servers. Postini provides spam alerts, but no
filtering and reporting services. Therefore, I've disabled spam detection by Postini. My
solution is to install local software to provide those services. My solution is to enable my
Linux box for this. It's running Fedora. Fetchmail gets the mail from oz.net, then calls
spamassassin via procmail. Spamassassin tags and filters the spam, then forwards it to SpamCop
for reporting. Remaining mail is sent via sendmail to the email clients. This process provides
me with filtered email including statistics on UCE and reporting services. Additionally, I've
installed SquirrelMail, for web based email client so I can remotely view my filtered email.
