Thanks Howie,
Any idea what the performance hit is for using RBL? I note in the manual
that remote servers are cached if they are found on an RBL server. Are
they cached if they are not found? If not then perhaps they should be
given the use of TTL parameters...
Thinking through this a little further... Given that iMS is
multi-threaded I would guess that the performance hit will only be
appreciable on an already busy server and that the main impact will be a
(slight) delay in message delivery for the RBL verification... BUT, if
you are getting a *lot* of spam attempts then you might get a
performance improvement since (I assume) the DATA step will be avoided...
Thanks again,
Brett
