From: Gavin Aiken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The only case
I'm worried about is what happens if our primary MX (which is my
box and had clamav installed) is offline for whatever reason (eg
SDSL down), and the mail gets routed via our secondary MX machines,
which are at Easynet and don't do any of this checking.
This is probably more of a concern than you think. There are plenty
of viruses out there that will connect to the highest-number MX,
rather than the lowest - precisely to get around the
most-heavily-armored servers.
I second that. Backup MXes are where ~70% of all received spam is
catched. SA's database is 4 times larger there than on our primary MXes.
Another nice target is a domain's webserver (where I restrict SMTP to
localhost because of that).
