we recently acquired 7 ninja machines for various purpouses...
2 of which are detailed for spamD'ing either in an openmosix cluster or
a HA environment... not sure which yet. Machines are 2-way opterons with
2 Gig ram and even handling all load at the university its still hitting
80% idle at peak times... plus theres 1.1Gig free (top)...
anyway is it right for me to be a little dissapointed becuase with all
this hardware/firepower to nuke the spam( bayes / dcc / pyzor / razor /
surbl) as it would appear that we didnt need it.(the new hardware)
*BECAUSE*
I added a dummy mx record (lowest preference) as we all know its
generally the one th spammers target first, which is getting hit with
about 50% of our daily connections, of which i defer all of them at a
very low overhead.
I feel like with this arsenal at my disposal the spammers should at
least make an effort!!!
thoughts?
