Re: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Changes
The diags.txt file is created as infomation whent he declude proc service is restarted. One thign you need to check is do you have a DNSOVERRIDE set in your declude.cfg file? Declude by default (as long as there is no DNSOVERRIDE) will use the IP of the DNS server in Imail Admin interface.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Changes
Hi Darrell - I do not have a DNSOVERRIDE in my declude.cfg file. I did change the DNS in the IMail Admin panel (under SMTP) to reflect my two new local DNS servers. Again, this will change as soon as I move my mail server to its new home. So at that point, I will need to make DNS changes again. Knowing this - what really is best practice? And with invURIBL, I modified its config file to use the local primary DNS server. Is that best?

re: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Changes
Todd, changing the DNS in the actual diags.txt file will do nothing. This is just a text file that is generated from information in the .cfg files. In order to change the DNS that declude uses, you must add the following line to your global.cfg. file... DNS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Change the x's to the IP of your DNS server. Once you do this, delete your current diags.txt, restart the decludeproc service and a new diags.txt will be generated and your new DNS server will show in the diags.txt and it will be used within Declude. Also, we suggest that you use the following DNS server with Declude 208.67.220.220. This is an OpenDNS server and it is extremely reliable.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Changes
Hi Linda - Thanks for that info. Actually, the DNS line in my global.cfg is listed as #DNS 127.0.0.1, so it's commented out. It's probably been this way for a long time so what would that suggest? One other time when we saw an increase in spam, it had to do with the fact that my DNS server froze up. A reboot of the DNS server all but fixed it. So I assumed that this increase would also be related to DNS issues since I just moved my main DNS server. Should I uncomment it and use the DNS address that you suggested? My mail server will be moving to a new location soon as well, so I hate to set it all up to rely on an internal DNS server that won't be immediately available to it in the next week.
