Hi Everyone -
First of all, I am running iMail 8.22 on a Windows 2000 server, with Declude
4.09 and invURIBL 2.7. I have a new server on order and will be upgrading
to Windows 2003 Server, iMail 2006, and Declude 4.xx in about a month.
In the meantime (and probably very much unrelated to the above
information)... I'm seeing a lot of spam coming through that I don't think
should be making it. I have all the updates that I can find for my current
versions of the above. I have not spent much time tweaking so I'm guessing
that will be the first place I should start (assuming I figure out exactly
what to tweak). When purchased, the above worked fairly well out of the box
with some minor adjustments. However, just as times change, so does spam.
I have a feeling that is where I am at now.
My questions are:
- are others also seeing an increase in spam, and if so, what are you doing
about it?
- is there something else I should be running in addition to the above? We
had the "trial" version of MessageSniffer but did not purchase when it quit
updating. I don't know if that was the key to our initial success or not.
- Last night, for instance, I was seeing a lot of a particular email come
in that contained obvious "spam" in the first line ("STOCK A LERT"). So I
added another line to my filter-spam.txt file to basically fail these
messages. I have not seen any more like it sense. Was that the right move,
and is this what it takes to stay on top of it?
- Last night I was on Declude's website and ran a BADHEADERS spam test,
which made it to my Inbox. I think I need help.
I guess I am really wanting to get a better understanding of what practices
you are using to combat the day-to-day? Like many on the list I'm sure,
I'm a one-man team trying to manage several things at once. I don't expect
things to just "work" but they sometimes get pushed aside while they are
working. Basically, this is not any more and I want to get back on top of
it.
I apologize if some of these questions seem obvious but would very much
appreciate any feedback or suggestions you have to offer.
Thanks!
Todd
