[spamdyke-users] Whitelist methods

2009-09-05 Thread Eric Shubert
I am thinking that from a security standpoint, the preferred methods of whitelisting would be by: 1) rDNS 2) IP 3) sender simply because spoofing a sender is easiest and spoofing rDNS is the most difficult. Is this correct? Are there other considerations? -- -Eric 'shubes'

don't see why this can't be done. Once SPF support is added, it should be pretty trivial to add a flag to control what spamdyke does with it. -- Sam Clippinger Eric Shubert wrote: Eric Shubert wrote: Hey Sam (et al), I just came across a situation where I wanted to whitelist

Nice piece, Sam. In addition, the OS will likely have cached spamdyke's config file(s) anyhow, so I expect any real performance gain would be negligible. BL to me is that there are a host of other inefficiencies (pardon the pun) that would bring a mail server to its knees long before

While spamdyke can do both TLS and authentication, I don't see an option for requiring TLS when authenticating. I see smtp-auth-level settings of ondemand-encrypted and always-encrypted, but these -encrypted settings appear to refer to cram-md5, and they effect offering the protocol, not
