Randy and Klint convinced me to finally install SMTPRCV. For now, I
am running without the antirelay plugin. I installed version 0.50 on
my W2K3 server and it has been running without any problems for 5
days.
I guess my question is to Randy, who stated previously that he was
using the antirelay plugin instead of SMTPRCV's blacklist. What are
the benefits of doing this?
To Klint, I would put on the wish list an addition to the log file
(the one that begins with the letter R) which shows you the IP
address that was rejected, but it doesn't show you the address that
it was being sent to. This is useful for when a customer calls me to
say that one of his customers was trying to send him email and it got
bounced. Anything that helps me to figure out who got blocked by
what in this situation is very useful, since having to deal with a
middle-person I may not be able to get the precise blocked IP address
from them (especially when talking to people who don't even know what
a header is). Or maybe this is one of the reasons Randy still uses
antirelay.
Another question is about the IP whitelist. Does inclusion on this
list bypass all other checks done by SMTPRCV, or does it just
override the blacklist?
I was impressed in the great reduction of files that actually ended
up in the trash folder. I can't imagine the actual load reduction
that occurred for the mail server once SMTPRCV was installed. Not to
mention freeing up disk space since I no longer have a trash folder
with 200K+ junk files in it. I thank Klint for continuing to support
SMTPRCV and thank Randy for convincing me to install it.
