Re: domain keys: I was looking at that in some older forum posts, and from what I could tell it only did inbound authentication, not outbound signing. But apparently it does DK both ways now. Sorry!
I like SmarterMail, but as Matt says it's not perfect. Their support is definitely lacking, even though it's totally paid now, and they have a very rapid development cycle (which is not a bad thing), but they really like to stick it to folks who bought an old version just prior to the release of a new version by making them pay full upgrade price. Not very customer friendly. The CEO seems to be totally missing that point and interacts with customers in public forums using a very arrogant tone. OTOH, they allow service providers to hand out free 50 domain / 250 user licenses to any of their customers, in the hops that the customer will need to upgrade to a larger edition. This is good for the service provider and very good for folks who fit into the "free" license size. And yes, ME really is a dog - poor performance, poor code, poor overall implementation -Jay ________________________________ From: Message Sniffer Community [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 3:06 PM To: Message Sniffer Community Subject: [sniffer] Re: Integration with Mailenable There is in fact a Domain Keys plug-in for SmarterMail listed on their downloads page: http://www.smartertools.com/Products/SmarterMail/DL/v4.aspx Personally I'm not a fan of any present sender identification implementation. Both SPF and Domain Keys are primarily associated with spam by volume, and SPF can at cause one's customers issues when they do things like use alternative SMTP servers or find themselves behind an SMTP proxy at a hotel or T-Mobile HotSpot...but I digress. I think that both IMail and SmarterMail are decent products, but neither one of them is perfect. SmarterMail certainly has a lower cost of entry. I would trust Jay's experience with MailEnable considering his extensive experience. Matt Jay Sudowski - Handy Networks LLC wrote: Hi Phil - Good question. We integrate Sniffer into SmarterMail via Declude. However, SmarterMail does have the capability to run a program against a message before it is delivered. We have some customers that use a batch file to call f-prot and get virus scanning integrated into their mail server on the cheap. I believe it would likely be possible to make use of the same functionality to call Sniffer directly, and thus avoid having to purchase Declude. I have just never had a need to attempt this. As for domain keys, I don't believe so. However, you can setup SPFyou're your domains simply by adding the appropriate DNS records to said domains zone files. -Jay -----Original Message----- From: Message Sniffer Community [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phillip Cohen Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 12:01 PM To: Message Sniffer Community Subject: [sniffer] Re: Integration with Mailenable Jay, Thanks for the heads up on Mailenable. I took a look at SmarterMail and it looks pretty good. How does it interface with Message Sniffer or does it require and external gateway such as EWall? How has support been with it and how have they been as far as updates. Also does it have "domain keys" capability and SPF support for sending mail to yahoo.com etc... Thanks, Phil At 07:26 PM 3/15/2007, you wrote: Stay Away From MailEnable. There are so many exploits out there for MailEnable, and there are more exploits found monthly, if not weekly. At one particular interval, MailEnable had to re-release the same patch several times in the *same* week because it kept on not actually fixing the root of the issue. If you run MailEnable, odds are that you will end up exploited, even if you stay on the of the patches. On top of that, MailEnable is just simply a CPU and IO hog, much more so than other other mail server I have ever seen. By default, they use entirely text based configuration files, which on occasion get truncated to zero during periods of high activity on the server. In the past year, we have assisted our customers move 20,000+ mailboxes away from MailEnable, mostly all to SmarterMail. Do not waste your time and money with MailEnable. -Jay -----Original Message----- From: Message Sniffer Community [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phillip Cohen Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 12:22 PM To: Message Sniffer Community Subject: [sniffer] Integration with Mailenable We are finally going to replace our old Vopmail server.
