RE: [Declude.JunkMail] IPFILE vs REMOTEIP

[Goran Jovanovic]

That sounds like IPFILE will use more resources since it is going to test up to HOPHIGH whereas REMOTEIP will have to be invoked in a filter file but it is a single test.   Goran Jovanovic Omega Network Solutions   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Fisher Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 10:57 AM To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] IPFILE vs REMOTEIP   One difference I know of, is that if you use a HOPHIGH parameter, IPFILE will search more hops. Tehrefore with a HOPHIGH and IPFILE an email with forged headers could trip the test. REMOTEIP only uses the last hop. ----- Original Message ----- From: Goran Jovanovic To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 9:35 AM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] IPFILE vs REMOTEIP   Hi,   Is there any performance benefit of using an IPFILE lookup vs a REMOTEIP lookup?   Is there any consensus of which option would be better to use to subtract some weight from a good mail?   I am looking into this as I have some mail coming from a server with no REVDNS and a HELOBOGUS and I need to counterweight it somehow. This IP belongs to CrystalTech Web Hosting Inc so I may have to credit back checking the MAILFROM.   X-RBL-Warning: HELOBOGUS: Domain DEDE58 returns a server failure for MX or A records. X-RBL-Warning: REVDNS: This E-mail was sent from a MUA/MTA 209.200.82.59 with no reverse DNS entry.   Thanks   Goran Jovanovic Omega Network Solutions
