  51                               <p>Due to an influx of spam getting through MAPS with a format of &lt;something&gt;@defaria.com I finally decided to fix MAPS to handle that better. Now if the from is from defaria.com (or the current domain) then the user name is looked up in /etc/passwd using getpwent and if there is no user of that name it is simply nulllisted. This is an obvious attempt by spammers to forge from email addresses.</p>
  52
  53 <p>Also removed logging of when the message is obviously garbled or not conforming to standards. Plus I no longer log if the user uses andrew@defaria.com but fails to have a name such as "Andrew DeFaria &lt;andrew@defaria.com&gt;". The former turns out to be mostly Nigerian spam anyway.</p>
  54
  55 <p>FInally, replaced /usr/local/amps with a direct checkout form CVS!</p>
