The comparitives of other similar RBLs covers the of issue mail throughput. DynaStop only needs the IP address, not the entire email. Resources used by DynaStop in operation: For the DynaStop client: %Cpu: 0.0 %Memory: 0.0 Memory Footprint 1712K Running the DynaStop client 50 times, avg 0.0317 msec (from strace) For the DynaStop server: %Cpu: 0.0 %memory: 0.4 Memory footprint: 9920K Only one server is needed to handle several thousand clients. The DynaStop server has been tested to 500 connections/second. > I was asking for total resource usage of dynastop+spamassassin vs > spamassassin+fuzzyocr.

I did answer your question. DynaStop is not a list of IP addresses, but rather a collection of patterns to identify dynamic IP addresses. Here an example: A dynamic IP address, say 126.34.45.55, which is listed by zen and currently DynaStop. If the user of that IP address decides to register a domain and provides the reverse DNS of microwidgets.com, DynaStop automatically disregards this IP address, zen does not. > The PBL is not a list of dynamic IP addresses.

In a clustered mail server setting, the $domain variable can be passed to DynaStop for domains that want no filtering at all. Rather then adjusting a large number of exim configurations, the administrator need only adjust the DynaStop server conf file. Plus there is no dependancy of a network file system, which on a cluster is, in and of itself, a challenge. --- DynaStop: Stopping spam one dynamic IP address at a time. http://tanaya.net/DynaStop/ -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
