Sandy, we suggest that you use the one that we recommend because 95% of issues with declude are related to in-house DNS servers not working to do recursive lookups correctly causing problems for our customers. I'm sure Todd has the skills to support his own DNS server as well, but that has nothing to do with why we suggest to use ours. We have seen the problem with in-house DNS servers so many times that we thought it would be a good idea to provide a suggestion to our customers.

This is an OpenDNS server and it is extremely reliable. Sorry to be meddlesome, but recommending that a single, remote, uncontrolled DNS server "always" be used for Declude's RBL lookups kinda flies in the face of best practices. The very reason people run their own recursive DNS servers is to increase performance, and in 2008, if you can't install and support one of the several high-performance DNS servers out there (Simple DNS, PowerDNS, BIND, MS DNS) for recursive use only, chances are you should be outsourcing your anti-spam measures as well. From experience, I'm sure Todd has the skills to support his own DNS, so it seems defeatist to suggest he do otherwise after this migration period. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
