RE: [sniffer] [Declude.JunkMail] 3.05.5 issues

2005-10-05 Thread Jonathan Hickman
I had the exact same problem.  I increased the process threads for Declude,
and it fixed the problem.  I set it to 100 for the number of threads.

Subject: RE: [sniffer] [Declude.JunkMail] 3.05.5 issues

I have got it down to 15 and tried to set sniffer back to persistent mode
again
 
However I find that with sniffer in persistent mode as David suggested, the
proc directory starts back logging.  which means the system is not keeping
up with the flow of mail.  Within 20 minutes I had 1400 files in the proc
directory.  I stopped the sniffer service and now it is gradually catching
up.
 
Any more suggestions as to what can get tuned?
 
I appreciate the assistance
 
Thank you

Trial and error is best. Set it to some thing like 20 and watch what
happens.

thank you

 

I was under the understanding given me by David from Declude that it
was appropriate given the amount of power my hardware has.

 

What would you recommend for my hardware?

Your threads is way too high, and I suspect that there are
time outs occurring and not all scanning is being done.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] 3.05.5 issues

 

I find that since being on the new version that more spam is
slipping through.  We have imail v8.05, declude and sniffer on win 2000
server dual xeon 3.4Ghz with 2Gb ram.  Threads are set to 50 with no other
setting in declude.cfg

 

Any advice you can give me to tighten it to where we had it
before?  I have had several clients complaining

 

Other than changing from V2.06.16 to 3.05 nothing else has
changed on the server

 

thank you

And you also have sniffer working in persistent mode?

Plus there is no spam leaking out?

[sniffer] New virus...

2005-10-05 Thread Pete McNeil
Hello sniffer,

  Hello folks... watch out for a new virus email with an attachment
  named pword _ change . zip - extra spaces added to skip filters
  ;-)

  We're adding some SNF rules to catch it. No word about it on virus
  lists or scanner services yet (that I can see).

  You may want to temporarily block .zip files - or at least this
  particular zip file until the new rules can be pushed out and the
  virus scanners catch up.

Thanks,
_M
