hi
bill,
on
your network architecture, presumably mxguard sitting in front of
av/as/imail?
would
a perimeter smtp gateway (sitting on most outer edge of your network) that could
do url-domain and other whitelist checking work - before traffic reaches your
av/as/imail box?
bye
for now,
kg
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.

Tripp gave same answer he's giving you, but it has
never been fixed - as you have witnessed.
The only reason I feel most others don't scream about
it was the fact they were all using Declude at the time.
I'm having
trouble understanding how the url-domain file functions. 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'.
