It does seem like the spam has gone down, but I will make the changes you suggested and see what happens. I appreciate the great support!

Yes, my educated guess would be that your spam increase is directly related to the DNS server move. I suggest always using 208.67.220.220 because you will never have to rely on your internal DNS for Declude to run it's RBL tests properly. ---------------------------------------- From: "Todd Richards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 5:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Changes Hi Linda - Thanks for that info. Actually, the DNS line in my global.cfg is listed as "#DNS 127.0.0.1", so it's commented out. It's probably been this way for a long time so what would that suggest? One other time when we saw an increase in spam, it had to do with the fact that my DNS server froze up. A reboot of the DNS server all but fixed it. So I assumed that this "increase" would also be related to DNS issues since I just moved my main DNS server. Should I uncomment it and use the DNS address that you suggested? My mail server will be moving to a new location soon as well, so I hate to set it all up to rely on an internal DNS server that won't be immediately available to it in the next week.

This is just a text file that is generated from information in the .cfg files. In order to change the DNS that declude uses, you must add the following line to your global.cfg. file... DNS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Change the x's to the IP of your DNS server. Once you do this, delete your current diags.txt, restart the decludeproc service and a new diags.txt will be generated and your new DNS server will show in the diags.txt and it will be used within Declude. Also, we suggest that you use the following DNS server with Declude 208.67.220.220. This is an OpenDNS server and it is extremely reliable. ---------------------------------------- From: "Todd Richards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 2:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Changes Hi everyone - I moved my primary internal DNS server to a new location last night (seeing up another site in the WAN), and had planned on using the other DNS servers. However, since moving it my spam has been "high". I changed the DNS to the other server in the "diags.txt", and the "invURIBL.exe.config" (for invURIBL). That helped, but am still getting some more that I don't normally get. I just realized that there was a setting in IMail Admin too, so that just got changed. Anything else that you can think of that I need to check/change? Also, regarding the diags.txt and the invURIBL config files, is it possible to set more than one DNS server? Thanks!
