RE: Spam: New to Spamassassin
Absolutely! All you have to do is set up your spamassassin email server as a smarthost (gateway) email server then forward all scanned email to your exchange or groupwise server. - Darren. From: Development [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 1:28 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Spam: New to Spamassassin I would like to know if it is possible to use spamassassin on one server to filter mail and then deliver it to a seperate mail server on the network running exchange, groupwise, etc?
RE: Could THIS have doubled my SA Speed...
Yes, I have tested this by pointing my entries in resolve.conf to our non-caching server. . . definitely slowed it down ... about 1/2 the speed (could not do r-DNS as quickly) :) - Darren. -Original Message- From: Jeff Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 1:36 AM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: Could THIS have doubled my SA Speed...

Then, I restarted SpamD and ran a corpus of 50 test files through SA (using a batch file, processing them one-by-one)... and this 2nd time it processed twice as fast. I ask if these results sound correct because I figure that my results might be anidotal. Does this type of speedup sound correct? I know that using a local DNS caching server can speed things up, but I was only specifying the SAME one what was already the default DNS server in my NIC card setup... so I would have thought that this would have already been the one chosen. Under *nix/nux Net::DNS wants to use the first resolv.conf record as it's resolver. I'd imagine it could get confused or delayed if there were no resolv.conf. To compound the wild guess, perhaps it works that way under Windows too. It stands to reason that, even though I have RBLs and URI-checked turned off, there must be something ELSE that is getting checked across the network (via DNS)... or OTHER DNS traffic besides just RAZOR and DCC. Any ideas what that might be? A packet sniffer might tell you. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/

Thanks, Billy Yes, one of my virtual mailboxes just got one. Came from impsat.net.ar. I sent off a nastygram to the network admin. somewhat off-topic Speaking of which, I have a policy such that if I have to deal with a piece of spam, I use whois to find the abuse reporting point for the network the zombie is on, and send them a copy of the spam, headers and all. Am I spitting (to use a nicer term) in the ocean, or is it worthwhile? In particular, this is an issue with a closed mailing list I manage, which, alas, is not on my server, so I have no control over how the MTA is set up. So I get (as of a couple of days ago) 40 or 50 spams per day I have to moderate. So if I have to deal with it, the spammer pays with (I hope) a shutdown zombie. In case the spammer is reading this, it's hammered_dulcimers (at) lists.fmp.com. /somewhat off-topic Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc.
