Re: [IMail Forum] url-domain file

Apparently, the reason this is happening is because the url-domain list isn't checked against an email until after MxGuard. If the email fails any of its spam tests then it would be quarantined which is a setting we have. Seems like a HUGE waste of processing since the url-domain file would eliminate better than 90% of what mxguard is catching. As I sent to Travis, IMHO it would be MUCH better if Imail would process mail in the following order: 1. URL-Domain 2. Imail Spam filtering 3. 3rd party filtering Since Queue Mgr manages the url-domain list the process is in this order: 1. Imail Spam filtering 2. 3rd party filtering 3. URL-Domain Consider all the unnecessary processing of mail that could be eliminated by not having Declude or MxGuard process mail that's on your list? A ton. Based on yesterdays traffic more than 10% of all email would never had to be scanned for viruses (twice since we run two scanners). This would certainly free up a great deal more processes to make the web messaging faster or to handle even more email per server.

I have a domain listed in their that's an obvious spammer which is 'nightofyourlife.com'. All these people seem to be able to do to bypass the url-domain list is to simply place a sub in front of their domain name like 'skip.nightofyourlife.com' and they slip through. is this how simple it is to get past the file or am I doing something wrong? If it is this simple it needs to be changed so it will be triggered with '*.nightofyourlife.com'. __________ NOD32 1.1368 (20060116) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
