I don't have a local blacklist... but here's what we figure is
happening... it's a weird side effect of the spam blocking. First the
background is that we get a lot of spam to invalid addresses.
Actually I don't know if it's spam or not because being to invalid
addresses it never shows up in anyone's mailbox. But anyway, when
this mail is received by the primary mail server during the day from
wherever it comes from and whenever it gets here, it doesn't set off
any "spam attack." But when the primary mailserver goes off the net
(like it did this afternoon), mail backs up in the secondary. So far,
that's a good thing. But then when the secondary tries to deliver it
to the primary once the primary is back up, there's all this invalid
mail (among all the valid mail) that the secondary is sending. Do you
think that this triggering SIMS to think that the secondary is trying
to spam attack the primary? I hope to have solved this by putting
the secondary's IP number in client hosts.... but does that open up a
can of worms with orbs? I seem to recall that the last time I was
configuring this area was because the secondary accepted messages for
anyone at the hosted domains and that somehow was a no no for orbs.
