Aloha,

How long does it take for a test to be accepted or rejected on the 
FreeBSD test mail box?

Is three minutes normal for a test to pop up?
I had some FreeBSD 7 config issues and this nearly caused me to think I 
hadn't cleared the problem  because it took quite a while to pop up.
   



It depends on how busy the server is at the time you send it, among
other factors.  I haven't noticed if the mail servers are doing
greylisting, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.

In this day and age, with the spam scourge and all the alleged solutions
that everyone's mail servers use, anything less than 10 minutes for a
delivery should be considered successful.

 


Thanks for the reply.
FreeBSD 7 is excellent. Applause  to the Developers.
I have been using FreeBSD since 2. something.

Is there a good how to set up spam assassin for  FreeBSD?  Most I have tried have no FreeBSD specific file placements listsed and I can't get it to work.

They are.  It may take a few minutes before a message gets through, but
that depends on how often the *sending* server retries.

 They do.

That's quite the response.

Care to elaborate for purposes of archive accuracy?
