* This is the modus mailing list * Thanks for the information. In this case, we'll probably go ahead with the upgrade. We had some issues (mostly our own fault) when upgrading to ModusMail 3. Things are finally starting to settle down, and we've got our white list to the point where it's solving most of our false positive issues. We were afraid to upgrade if it was going to produce an effect that our customers would notice. Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057

Since spammers tend to hit the secondary more and more thinking the primary is an anti-spam gate, obviously any messages sent to the backup would be let through on the main. You have to make sure if you have any backup servers to remove them from your trusted zones. 2) Scott seemed to have a problem with the extended DB after the upgrade that caused "inheritence" to break down, he seems to have fixed it so I've asked him to give me the list of things he did and I'll how-to-ize it ;-) He'll be doing a test today to confirm. - Yves ----- Original Message ----- From: "Holstein, Regis J." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 10:42 AM Subject: [Modus] SPAM/277Upgrade > * This is the modus mailing list * > > On our end, we haven't had any issues after upgrading to 277 : users have > reported they got the same catch rate. > > Regis > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Benjamin S.
