Unfortunately there are (apparently) useful people there too.

A little later, after the move and things have stablised, we'll be
able to upgrade Exim (our MTA) to do sender verification. Basically
it'll attempt to send a message to back to whomever it receives one
from and if it gets and error not accept the mail.

Check /etc/exim/exim.conf and search for FIXME. Actually feel free
to look around the entire Progsoc setup - we've tried to make basically
everything readable and inline with "best practises" so that copying
the setup isn't too hard.

If you are interested in the setup of something specific, let us
(admin@nospam.progsoc) know.
