Filter spam with RTBLs

Prevent unsolicited “spam” messages from annoying your users

This page provides information on how to enable use of the anti-spam RTBLs in your server, to help filter out spam.

Note: Don’t forget to also contribute to the lists by setting up report forwarding. This will help make the RTBLs more effective.

Server configuration

Prosody

Install and enable the mod_anti_spam community module. Example configuration:

modules_enabled = {
  --- other modules here ---
  "anti_spam";
}

anti_spam_services = { "xmppbl.org" }

For more information, see the mod_anti_spam documentation.

Other servers

Support for the spam RTBLs is not currently available in other servers, but we hope to add more to this page soon!
