You *might* get some assistance on this list, but your question is really Postfix-specific. You would probably get more insight and assistance using a Postfix list. - Mark --- Maurice Sienema [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've have a problem with double mail delivery when using

One of the things the I like to do is use IPTABLES on a Linux machine to redirect certain mailers (that I trust implicitly and KNOW that they can't send infected e-mails) to port 10025 on the box w/ Amavis. This allows me to not have to worry about sender, recipient, domains, whatever... I

2006-10-23 Thread Mark Burdick
Hi, all... I have been having an odd problem with a couple of servers running AMAVISD, and am looking for some insight/guidance. I have been receiving (intermittently, but often in bunches) SPAM that *claims* to be from a user on the host that is actually processing the mail. This supposed

I agree with Steve. Proper configuration requires that any server sending e-mail for your domain be listed in DNS, and have reverse PTR records as well. And, including this information for SPF use as well makes sense. We run hosted filtering solutions that deliver the processed mail to corporate

Andrew, Overall, I agree with your comments about commercial offerings versus OpenSource. However, I take exception with the way in which you closed out your post... Outsourcing spam and virus scanning is a false economy. I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with that statement. As a service provider, I

My setups use Postfix as the mail server and Amavisd-new as the scanning engine (that calls SA and anti-virus). What I do is enable the 'post-scanning' instance of Postfix on the NIC (not just the loopback) and then enable access to the 'post-scanning' instance of Postfix for my internal IP

I had something similar happen to me once... Amavais was attempting to unpack a single message, and the process was consuming more and more memory until the server ran out and crashed. What I ended up doing was the following: Clean boot the server. Immediately start watching (via top) amavis

What you're looking for is both possible, and an extremely bad idea. Far more viruses will pass into an e-mail system with a false FROM address than ones that are legitimate. Your proposal will be sending response messages for every virus it finds, and the majority of those will be from incorrect

I have been using 512 * 1024 for months (9 or more) on every system I have built. These systems are no powerhouse machines - they have 512MB RAM and a PIII processor (450-500MHz). My systems process an average of 300,000-400,000 message attempts per month, and CPU cycles are never an issue. I see
