2006.09.22 Greylisting added to Vex.Net

Over the last few days we have been hit pretty hard by spammers. Systems have slowed down and email has been clogged as a result. To alleviate this problem we have implemented "greylisting" on Vex.Net. You can find more information on this technology at http://www.greylisting.org/. There are two main effects of this change as far as you, the user, are concerned. First, the initial email from someone to you from a specific IP address will be delayed for at least one minute. Subsequent emails from the same person at the same address will flow normally. Second, there will be a dramatic reduction in the amount of spam you get. We have been testing this on an internal server and the results are nothing short of astonishing. If you see any issues with this new process, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@Vex.Net or call us at (416) 609-1502.
