An idea to fight spam on my personal email server. What software can I use to make this happen ?

Hello,

I plan to set up a personal mail server on my own domain, but I am worried about spam.

I though about greylisting, but I really want ZERO spam to go into my main account (i will have other multiple accounts for spam, bulk, automated messages, notifications and other shit), so I want something even better.

So I was thinking about following solution:

  1. Alice@alicedomain.com sends email to bob@bobdomain.com

  2. Email server at bobdomain.com puts the email in "Probable SPAM" folder

  3. Email server at bobdomain.com replies with an automated message stating that alice has to do one of 2 things in order for her messages to be accepted into whitelist: A) Reply with special security code (sent in the first reply) B) Click a link included in the reply

  4. After alice does one of these 2 things, her email (Alice@alicedomain.com) is added to bob's server's whitelist and is no longer automatically blocked.

My question is: is there a software package that lets me do something like this ?

( Of course i want to do it on Linux )
