Make sure the primary allows the secondary's IP to pull it, and the secondary has the correct IP for the primary. Other than that, it would most likely be a connectivity issue. Darin. - Original Message - From: serge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 12:39 AM

You can mimic this functionality by setting up distinct binary weights for each test and defining actions by weightrange. e.g. Tests have weights of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... so every total weight can be decomposed. With this scheme the weight is really no longer a weight, but instead is a bit flag of

I'd like to have the Last Action line in the log moved from LOGLEVEL HIGH to LOGLEVEL MID to reduce the size of logs but still have an easy indicator as to what was done with the message. Would help greatly with log parsing at MID level, I think. Anyone agree or disagree with this? Darin.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can also use the ipfile test to block sender's IPs. While the fromfile works well if the sender domain matches the from domain, we also use the ipfile where spammers are registering new domains constantly for their from address, but not rotating their mailservers
