Oops, sorry! > But, back to the filtering: how do I determine which email addresses are > the spam traps? They keep them secret for a good reason. That's not easy. First, register for SpamCop as a system administrator. Sign up for alerts on spam reported or trapped from your IP addresses/netblock. This will help queue you in as to the *when* its happening. Once you know when, then you can figure it out logically. Their reports are hour-by-hour, so the best you'll do is limit it to an hour or two. If your server is heavily trafficked, then you'll need an intern or other lackey to parse through the logs. If not, then it shouldn't be too painful.

He's also one of the "real" security experts out there -- he knows his shit better than anyone. I'd suggest you bury the pride. After doing some benchmarking and significant testing, I can say honestly that Postfix outperforms all other comers. The ease of use/configuration is a big plus. I'd be happy to help/advise on a changeover to Postfix. -- Mark J.
