Just a chime in here as I have setup Lens process to send my imail users =
to imgate for valid users in imail
my log report stats from yesterday
Postfix log summaries for Dec 21
Grand Totals
------------
messages
11940 received
2174 delivered
0 forwarded
1 deferred (2 deferrals)
0 bounced
11396 rejected
-- you can see, not a heavy mail use as only 2174 got delivered
but here is the line from my spamstats for non-valid imail users
9526 Non-Existant Imail user
I am getting a ton (for us anyway) of bogus mail sent to our server but =
the map file of valid users in imail keeps it all off of our imail server.=
I think this works great and what I do is run the extract users script on =
the Imail server every 10 minutes and then process it on the imgate server =
every 10 minutes.=20
works great for my environment (k-12 school district) as we are not adding =
alot of accounts to our server. Not sure how much that would impact though.=
