Hi,
We're a web hosting company with around 15 shared servers with a mail
server running on 80% of them. At the moment SpamAssassin is active on
every mail server (FreeBSD and Windows) but it doesn't work very well.
It's really hard (almost impossible) for our customers to train their SA
database themselves which results in a very bad spam filter. I recently
installed dspam on a private server and I'm very happy with it. It's
easy to administer and has nice features.
My question is, would it be possible with one or two (load balanced?)
servers for mail filtering with dspam? How would that setup look like?
Will MX10 point to the filtering server which (after filtering)
redirects the mail to the correct server? But how will it know which is
the correct server? We're running Exim and maybe the last question
belongs to the exim-users list. How many email accounts can such a setup
handle? I'm sure it depends on the hardware.
I would appreciate any ideas and thoughts regarding this solution.
Thanks,
Patrik
