Was ist TMDA?
-------
http://tmda.net/
TMDA is an open source software application designed to significantly 
reduce the amount of spam (Internet junk-mail) you receive. TMDA strives 
to be more effective, yet less time-consuming than traditional spam 
filters. TMDA can also be used as a general purpose local mail delivery 
agent to filter, sort, deliver and dispose of incoming mail.

The technical countermeasures used by TMDA to thwart spam include:

     * whitelists: accept mail from known, trusted senders.

     * blacklists: refuse mail from undesired senders.

     * challenge/response: allows unknown senders which aren't on the 
whitelist or blacklist the chance to confirm that their message is 
legitimate (non-spam).

     * tagged addresses: special-purpose e-mail addresses such as 
time-dependent addresses, or addresses which only accept certain kinds 
of communication. These increase the transparency of TMDA for unknown 
senders by allowing them to safely circumvent the challenge/response 
system.

This combination was chosen based on the following assumptions about the 
current state of spam on the Internet:

    1. You cannot keep your email address secret from spammers.

    2. Content-based filters can't distinguish spam from legitimate mail 
with sufficient accuracy.

    3. To maintain economies of scale, bulk-mailing is generally:
           * An impersonal process where the recipient is not distinguished.
           * A one-way communication channel (from spammer to victim).

    4. spam will not cease until it becomes prohibitively expensive for 
spammers to operate.
