Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Valid Senders - Best Declude Practices

[Herb Guenther]

Yes, we do it to filter for some customers that want to run their own mail server but not have to deal with managing virus and spam filters.  We use the same smartermail server to host about 80 domains/1400 mailboxes and do domain forwarding for another 10 or so domains with about 500 addl mailboxes.

I have a box that I use as an incoming relay for about 30 or so Exchange servers that all live out in the wild. I run Smarter Mail, Declude, Message Sniffer, INVURIBL, F-Prot and all kinds of good stuff before I pass it along to the Exchange server with SmarterMail domain forwarding. I am getting my ass kicked by volume because the mail server accepts any address and forwards it along; most of which of course are addresses that don't exist. I'm building a gateway box in the near future, which will help keep the incoming fluff down a bit, I'm sure, but what I really need to do is to implement some kind of valid recipient list. I doubt that I'll be able to LDAP all over God's green earth with any kind of reliability or speed. Since the gateway won't be implemented for a few weeks, I'm been playing with things to get ready for it, namely, how to get valid sender lists from such a disparate group of Exchange servers. So. I patched together this _vbscript_ that exports a list of exchange addresses using LDAP into a text file. It runs as a WinCron job. I created a batch file that uploads it to one of my Cold Fusion servers. That runs as a WinCron job, too. I wrote a Cold Fusion script that looks for these silly text files every so many minutes and then parses the crappy, cluttered thing into a nice clean CSV for me, and now I can do anything I want with it. I imagine that someday I'll use it in conjunction with the gateway, but hey, I have this information right now. What would be the best way to use this information with Declude? Ideally, it should be implemented on a per domain basis, in case I can't get some Exchange servers to play nice with me. Eventually I suppose it will be mandatory, I'm sure, but not right now when I am coming up with best practices, eh? So do I set up each text file for each domain as a separate filter? And then only use it in the applicable per domain junkmail file? Is that the best way to do it? Or am I making Declude work too hard? I would really love any suggestions you might have.
