Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude & SmarterMail

[Dave Doherty]

What sort of message volume are you testing? The SmarterTools folks say the CPU loads should be lighter with SM than IMal. Can you verify that from your experience?   I'm testing it as a "SmartHost" mail cache right now,  with volume of about 100,000 a day, and it looks to be holding up well in that environment. I am not testing it with Declude however. It does not appear that Declude functions with their SmartHost service.   I've had few issues with SM when using it as a mailcache. The mail issueis that I'm having trouble getting them to understand that the cache needs an address list from the POP server to protect it from dictionary attacks. My cache volmue would probably be about 1,000-3,000 if the cache could send back 550 errors. The spammers and hackers seem to be ignoring 550s from the main server and targeting the higher preference number MX on the cache.   -Dave Doherty  Skywaves, Inc.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry Palmer To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 7:24 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude & SmarterMail We are testing SmarterMail and Declude now.
