* This is the modus mailing list * Hi Ken,
I'll give you my results of running M3 also. As Ronnie mentioned, we have not added a new sieve filter since we began the beta. In fact, we have actually disabled some of the scripts we used before the beta. THE SCA ROCKS!! While we have tested White and Black list functions, we have not released these to the masses yet. I did not want to do this in the event there was any "modification" in the functionality or user interface (which there was) in the release version. They work well per user. We did not implement nor test either list "server wide". Someone asked earlier about additional processing power requirements. To my knowledge, each of the beta companies ran the beta on hardware on the same, equal or in some cases even less powerful servers than we ran M2 on. Brace yourselves Vircom users - "something wonderful is about to happen", it has for us already! <grin> Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Grimes Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 10:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] When is 3.0 due out? * This is the modus mailing list * While holding my breath for the November 3rd release, we have a few questions for the beta testers if it doesn't violate their NDA's. First, I read from the list that the companies that are currently running the M3 setup have all experienced great results with filtering the spammers known techniques but are these due to the next generation Sieve filters or are these the result of "server wide" whitelisting/blacklisting or challenge/response? If you answer to the first question is "yes", have you contacted all your customers to make them aware of the new challenge/response system just to pre-warn them of the possible delays in message receipt? Second question, of the companies and domains using the challenge response is there anyone whom has put together a list of important newsgroups that we could implement prior to customer complaints about their Yahoo Groups now not being received because of their non-response capacity? Thirdly, has anyone had experience with third party mail relaying with regards to what additional functionality can you filter for these servers? In other words, in Modus 2.x we can select filtering of SPAM, VIRUS, or ATTACHMENTS independently, will version M3 allow the additional the new white/black or challenge/response options for relays? Fourth, if you have implemented the challenge/response how does M3 perform with massive spam attacks from the same IP if using different forged return addresses? In other words, if 20,000 messages come from 80.123.123.123 all with different forged return addresses will it perform challenges for each message or will it cache it's results and prevent wasted bandwidth by auto "identifying" a new spammers IP that may not be blocked by the RBL's yet. Just curious about these in advance, Ken Grimes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Herrera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 4:53 PM Subject: [Modus] When is 3.0 due out? > * This is the modus mailing list * > > We see fewer false positives now than when we were using Modus 2 along > with spamassassin!
