Then they would need to deal with drivers.

My own server, since 2001. Regex part since about 2003. It has been very effective, and still is.

The most effective thing back in the day was blocking based on TCP fingerprint, as "Windows XP" was different from "Windows 2003" IIRC (with OpenBSD PF). After that, greylisting gave me a few SPAM-free years, before it became the norm (OpenBSD spamd). Many OpenBSD users had quite a few SPAM-free years back then.

I use "-" instead of "+" with a regex: "/^name-.*@mydomain\.tld$/". Then I block them when I get spam after they get compromised. Many spammers already know to remove anything after the +-sign.

But I must admit that the biggest benefit of this setup, was listening to my girlfriend on the the phone explaining to someone, at some company, the reason that their name was part of the email-address:

    "That is because if I get SPAM, I know that I can't trust you."
    ...
    "Just make sure that you don't sell it, or get hacked."
    ...
    "If you are already expecting to get hacked, or sell it... why should I do business with you?"

It was priceless.
