Funny you should say that, I installed that yesterday to play with, and so far it does seem quite good. I haven't really worked out how to configure it yet though. What I need ultimately is something I can set up on a hosted server to handle mail for me and my my customers, which changes things quite a lot; for example, an office based appliance like ESVA is an open relay (which is OK inside an office but not outside). I need to be able to tell it which domains it can accept mail for, with everything else being rejected, and need it to be able to process large volumes of mail without getting backlogged. The problem with SpamAssassin as I understand it (and in my experience) is that it does a lot of stuff with each mail and gets bogged down very quickly. Dspam's main touted feature is its low overhead and ability to handle high volumes efficiently (I have no idea how well it lives up to that, which is one reason I want to try it). Tests I've done with SA indicate that it can easily take 10+seconds to process one email. > I have been using it for a while now without any issue, and it is easy to > configure.

Presumably your colleague isn't using a virtual machine for this? I need to learn more about how to configure the box. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
