You're correct, but there's one thing you can't ignore: If it's /your/ setting that causes the mail not to get where it should, then the users are going to say it's /your/ problem. And I got this even from the most tech-savvy of them. I feel I should give the best service to my users, and their losing messages isn't really good, even if in the long run I may be helping spammers do their nasty business. Gerrit P.

I just have to get in on this discussion. As I agree and disagree with some comments from others. I run an internet service with about 1000 users. I have my email posted all over my web site so that my customers, and potential new business can reach me. I have to be VERY careful on who I blacklist for spam. I can just start putting in ip ranges or domains names. As an ISP, I know that every once in a blue moon somebody pulls a fast one on me and signs up for my service and sends out about a good 50 to 60 thousand messages. Now I don't want my domain name or IP ranges blacklisted beacause of this on guy. I am currenty running red hat using sendmail and qpopper. I want to swith to xmail for easier for two major reasons: 1) I will be on windows, which is where this particular application should be, and 2) I can easier implement virus protection. Unfortunately, there is one major thing holding me back, SPAMASSASSIN. This program works like a dream to fight spam. I normally get about 70 to 80 Spams a day, but with SpamAssassin, this is cust down to about 2 or 3. For those of you that aren't familiar with it, SpamAssassin works on a ranking system and performs a number of checks on incoming mail, based on the score, it can determine whether a message is spam. It works VERY WELL. The only problem, it has not been ported to windows. I here that DeerSoft has ported this to windows but only for the client side and not the server. I guess I may just have to bite the bullet and go to which is more important, and right now that is Virus Filtering.

[xmail] Re: Using SpamCop
Um. No. No trouble at all. If mail is not getting through it is because that IP address is listed with one of the databases, almost certainly meaning that their mail server is (or was) acting as an open relay. If that server is not currently an open relay, their admin needs to go to the applicable database's site and resubmit the IP for testing and, should the test show it to not be an open relay, it will be removed from their database. JayD (Who is currently working on making sure he isn't listed incorrectly after his own open relay issues -- OPEN RELAY IS BAD!!) Hello everybody, I see your discussions of spam blacklists, and I want to ask you this: Haven't you had complaints about messages that /should/ get through not doing so? When I used ORBS and MAPS and all of those, I had a lot of complaints from various people that my server would not accept their e-mails. Upon checking the logs I saw that the reason for that was that they were blacklisted in a spammer list. Once I removed the line telling XMail to check those lists everything strated to get through and I was happy. Perhaps I had done something wrong? Perhaps I've used the wrong lists? Anyone? -Liron.

But talking about the - in German so-called DAU (dümmster anzunehmender User - most stupid user one can imagine) the DAU will in 98 % of the cases contact US, because OUR email-address doesn't work, and still for the DAU most of the other addresses world-wide work. So they think it's our fault - and it's quite hard to convince them that it's the fault of THEIR provider and they'll have to contact him instead.

We are hosting about 2.000 mail-domains on our mailserver. Well I think it is very simply. If a person can't mail he/she should complain at their provider. They screwed up so they should fix the troubles. This is the only way to fight spam. The more people use it this way the earlier spam belongs to the past. -- Groeten, Peter -- Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie!'... till you can find a rock. --- --- Heb je een Sony Digital video camera ? --- Kijk eens op http://www.dvin.org --- Kijk ook op http://www.lindeman.org --- ICQ 22383596 --- Uptime lindeman.org : 1 days, 6 hours and 10 minutes, 0 users logged in. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
