Re: [IMail Forum] OT: Reduction in spam? (From Len)

[MIS Dept]

Len,

So, this means, that IMGate can do email address validation on another email server?
Or, let me rephrase my question: What method IMgate uses to verify the existence of the receipient's email address? (I am assuming that you have Imail server running on another computer.)

Probably not related to any general reduction in spam, but one very distressed Imail system admin asked me to install IMGate last September.  The first day, IMGate did 3+ million rejects, and his IMail system immediately began working reliably and quickly again.

Yesterday, the same MX had these numbers:

  46967 ACL mta_clients_dict
 137930 SMTP Exceeded Hard Error Limit after RCPT
 371347 ACL to_relay_recipients unknown recipient
========================
 688387 TOTAL

Which is about a 75% reduction in rejects.
