Well, Not all the mail we receive is flowing through the filter server yet, some is still being delivered direct to our regular unfiltered server, but a substantial portion of it is now being filtered.
>From my point of view this testing has been a resounding success! In the past 30 hours the anti-spam mail server I set up has intercepted a little over 3300 spam messages that would have been normally delivered to our email accounts. About 500 of these have been passed along to our regular mail server but marked with the *****SPAM***** Subject: and the X-Spam-Level Header entries. The remaining 2800 have been simply blocked either because they are for bogus e-mail accounts or they are from known spam sources (50%/50%). Any time a message gets blocked it will be rejected and a note sent back to the originating server listing the reason, just in case someone you know has had his/her server listed as a known spam source. I am currently using http://spamhaus.org as a spam source identification lookup database. Since this looks like it's working so well, I plan to implement a more permanent front end filter server here at the office but will keep the filter server I have set up at home as a secondary backup for our mail servers here. Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
