This sounds like a recipe for accept then bounce to me. The idea is to set it up so the gateway server (in this case Xmail) can validate each recipient (preferably at RCPT TO time) as being a valid user (so that a protocol session error can be returned for invalid users - rather than generating a bounce message to a (likely forged) invalid user email). Plus, we want to get away from Exchange acting as an SMTP delivery agent - we want *all* inbound *and* outbound mail to pass through the gateway (for archiving, virus scanning, and other purposes).

Well - cause I want to? 8-) I am currently doing a ton of logging from my filters. Setup is basically this - I could be ALL WRONG of course... Mail for MYCOMPANY.COM is handled by XMail at MYDOMAIN.COM All mail (that gets thru the filters) for MYCOMPANY.COM is handed to an (GACK!) Exchange 2000 server. I do this thru a Custom Domain. First anything getting through the Spam Lists, DNS, etc. and received is Virus checked. I log all virus email. Second all non-infected email is matched against employees addresses that chenged over three years ago - when spam got so bad we changed our addressing method. I also throw in employees as they leave (after a suitable delay - we are very sales oriented). I log all not-wanted email. Next I allow the Exchange users to reject mail based on addresses or domains through our Intranet Website. To cover most users, this data is pulled from a MySQL database of XMail for the last week of email that they received. I log both kill-by-address and kill-by-domain. I even setup an account at MYDOMAIN.COM for them to forward spam to, so they have control over what email they receive. This currently populates the kill-by-address datafiles. I log all addresses forwarded to 'spam'. Now - thanks to Jason - I have a ipkill log file too! That is starting to look very interesting. So I have - besides smtp-yearmmdd - 5 other log files that need to be rotated. And to kick it all over - I dump them all to a MySQL database. So to make sure - I stop XMail - copy off my log files - and then restart XMail. XMail should stop receiving email and then shut down after the filters have run. Right??? I then process all the logs into MySQL and then RAR them into archives. That way I have CMA for sure.

I do this thru a Custom Domain. First anything getting through the Spam Lists, DNS, etc. and received is Virus checked. I log all virus email. Second all non-infected email is matched against employees addresses that chenged over three years ago - when spam got so bad we changed our addressing method. I also throw in employees as they leave (after a suitable delay - we are very sales oriented). I log all not-wanted email. Next I allow the Exchange users to reject mail based on addresses or domains through our Intranet Website. To cover most users, this data is pulled from a MySQL database of XMail for the last week of email that they received. I log both kill-by-address and kill-by-domain. I even setup an account at MYDOMAIN.COM for them to forward spam to, so they have control over what email they receive. This currently populates the kill-by-address datafiles. I log all addresses forwarded to 'spam'. Question: You mention several checks in here (virus checks, blacklist checks, user checks, etc)... How many of these checks result in bounce notices being sent (as opposed to rejections during the protocol session with an appropriate 5xx error message)? Because in today's forgery-rich environment, bounces are a *bad* thing - and will tend to get the mail server delivering them blacklisted in many places... - 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]

It's working without any problems. Just have to set the `real-adress' mail-adress of each sender into ActiveDirectory-Users. XMail will forward all incoming messages to Exchange - and Exchange looks into AD and spread it to the specified user. In this case - Exchange must NOT have a Smarthost. It doesn't matter - but it is not bad, to do this. There *might* be some DNS problems, if not using a Smarthost - by sending/receiving mails with the LOCAL.DOMAIN as a (non-)valid address. --=20 Regards, Alexander Hagenah - 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]

It only interrupts XMail for about a second or two and has not shown any bad side effects.

Now these ideas would not really make much of an impact on a nicely spec'd server, but for a little linux server at home, it could have some performance improvements hmm on a home linux machine with 10 accounts and some mails per day the performance improvements should be near 0 :-) - 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]
