Of course it is not neccessary to publish every detail about the
procedures to avoid spam, attacks etc. - but some basic procedures
should be discussed in public, since you might often think you are
"secure" but you just didn't see the flaws in your procedures yet.

For example: I use SpamAssassin and do greylisting on my server. If i
would get less spam just because i keep this information a secret then
SpamAssassin itself and greylistign should be considered useless.
