You are correct....thank you for bringing this to my vision. I am just trying to find an easier way to wade through all my "held" emails to find the legite ones. Killing them before they get to declude would seem so much more easy. I just review my Declude configs and found the delete option.
Scott, If I use the DELETE option for emails that fail the test for my black list, would that not server the same purpose? Plus make it a bit more friendlier to my server? Thanks for all of you help!!! Still learing! :-) Henry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Rick Davidson Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 6:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] kill file vs blacklist A little food for thought on using the Imail kill file versus the declude blacklist... The Imail kill file refuses the mail at the SMTP level which may alert the spammer that your blocking them. Not to mention that the cpu burden is put on smtp32.exe instead of passing it off to declude.exe which we all purchased to handle the spam to begin with. I don't know about you folks but I have been retaliated against many times by spammers >:-) and would rather not anger them because they have already proven themselves to be unscrupulous individuals. It is my feeling that quietly accepting the mail and deleting it will defeat and waste the spammers time more effectively. If they think they are delivering their payload then they might not move on to other hosts so readily. just my 2 cents thoughts? Have a great day!
