Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Spam box

[Nick Hayer]

Hi Goran, The way that I understand it from reading the threads here is that these front end boxes require the complete list of valid e-mail addresses for all domains that are being processed. Is that correct? For ORF that is correct - at least the way I use it -   If that is correct, then perhaps someone who is gatewaying mail to clients could answer this. How do you get all the e-mail addresses on the front end box and how do you keep it updated? I run a script every 15 min that looks at Imail's HOST file and the extract from Imail that runs at the same time. If things have changed then I update ORF.  I have 2 ORF boxes and have pretty much all of my MX recs pointing there rather than at the Imail box.   I am doing gatewaying to various Exchange and other hosting providers and do not host any mail on my site. So am I correct in assuming that this solution will not work in my setup? It will work fine. Perfectly! The short explanation is you need to get lists of valid users from all your providers and update ORF as need be with the results.  Matt does it - I do it and so do many others I believe. -Nick   Thanx          Goran Jovanovic      The LAN Shoppe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Nick Hayer Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 1:43 PM To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Spam box   Richard Farris wrote: Is there a box I can put in front of my Imail server that will help take some of the load off of the spam filtering that Declude is doing.... Hi Richard - One method is to put ORF in front of your IMail box and via its recipients blacklist feature refuse all mail that does not have a legit address on the imail box. It has really helped me kill huge dictionary attacks - like in the magnitude of 2 mill a day  .. -Nick   Richard Farris Ethixs Online 1.270.247.5555 Office 1.800.548.3877 Tech Support "Crossroads to a Cleaner Internet"
