Re: [AMaViS-user] OT: (Somewhat) - very slow postfix connections
Be sure not to confuse the smtpd line that listens on port 25 (or post smtp if you want symbolic names), and the entry that controls smtpd on port 10025. The one on port 25 should best be left to have a default maxproc. The one on port 10025 should have a fairly low limit, 2-5 for a small site, 5-15 for a large site (as a starting value), and that same value must be configured in amavisd.conf as $max_servers. Sorry, now I got confused myself. smtpd service process entries need no maxproc limitation, default is usually good enough. The only entry with a low maxproc limit is the smtp (not smtpd) entry, which feeds a content filter. Mark --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Probably any time advantage gained will be already lost on the process of thinking, testing and changing the server. ;) Cheers, Henrik --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [AMaViS-user] SpamAssassin/Amavis/MySQL Cont'd--the SPF/NJABL/SORBS debacle..
Note there is also a patch for the SA 3.1 SPF plugin to quench it when a message is coming from a trusted (but not internal) host: http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4661 The patch is in response to my problem report from 2005-11-04: According to SA docs on trusted/internal_networks, the MSA is to be included in the trusted_networks list, and not in internal_networks. Now the question. A mail submitted to MSA from an external authenticated client (which also happens to be DUL-listed) uses a sender address of our domain (as it should be, according to SPF docs). The SPF check (as done by SA) submits this foreign IP address to SPF, which naturally claims it is a forgery. This is clearly wrong, the IP address submitted to SPF should be that of MSA, or SPF check should be skipped altogether. Mark --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
