[Modus] spam directory

[Jon Benson]

If it's in the spam folder it's already been identified as spam by the moduscan service and is waiting to go in to quarrantine.   A RBL will actually prevent delivery of mail to the server, ie it will actively refuse the email.  It won't result in quarrantined email so it's not related to your problem.   Jon Benson Mail/DNS/Linux Administrator OzHosting.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of TIASpeed Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2003 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] spam directory do you know what happens in the spam folder? does it wait their to be filtered and then it's delivered to either a mailbox or the quarantine.   could the problem have anything to do whth the fact that i was use spamhaus.org as an rbl? vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Saunders - SECPA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:02 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory Mine was receiving and delivering mail ok - it seems the spam wasn't going into the quarentine.  Quarantine is now growing, and the spam folder only has about 17k in it now.   Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: TIASpeed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 4:50 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory i have restarted the computer after restarding the admin as you did.  i think it might be processing now, but explorer hangs up when i try to open it to check the spam folder.  very weird thanks for your response vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Saunders - SECPA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 4:40 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory I just stopped and restared the ModusAdmin services and now I have stuff in quarantine, and the files are being processed and is down to about 51,000   Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Saunders - SECPA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 4:34 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory I just checked on mine, it has 53,000 and is also growing - I don't know what it runs normally.  We are fairly small and don't do that much mail.  What is weird I show nothing in the quarentine.  My sievedata.mdb is only at 37M   ----- Original Message ----- From: TIASpeed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:55 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory ok, it's up to 60,000 now and growing like crazy outgoing mail that i send takes forever vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Total Internet Access To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:37 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory i have over 55,000 messages in my spam directory under the vopmail/spool.
