We run the OpenBSD [[http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sektion=8|spamd]] service to prevent or delay message delivery from suspect servers. In addition, systems which attempt to send messages to nonexistent accounts or defunct physics hostnames are temporarily blacklisted. | We run the OpenBSD [[http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=spamd&sektion=8|spamd]] service to prevent or delay message delivery from suspect servers.

| You can view a list of messages which were blocked or greylisted (delayed) on your [[https://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/myphys/|MyPhys]] page. Delayed messages should normally arrive within about a half hour (although to some extent this will depend on the sending mail system), and once a message has been delivered, future messages from that source will have no delay. |
