It's a fighting battle the free relays will never win. I had to remove your relay and I stopped seeing spam.

I'm sticking to paid relays. Even a tiny fee of 21 sats like nostr21.com keeps bots away.

Does your paid relays allow me to write a reply to them? If I use The Outbox Model will I will be able publish to you?

I'm not sure. I'm not an expert in relays. All I know is my relay is working fine, I can message anyone and there's no spam.

You have 11 relays defined, one of them is localhost. When I reply to you or send a DM, you expect "me" to publish that to all your 10 public available relays?

There is also an following list with 34 relays that you have published.

Where should I publish my events for your to see them? Randomly pick perhaps 3 of the 10 relays?

I have no idea. I'm not an expert in relays. I just know the biggest relays are full of spam and once I removed them the spam went away.

localhost is probably the nostr-tray relay
