haha i've been getting the opposite emails. People are wondering if we've been having problems because they don't have the usual amount of spam! haha]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:39:14 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6333&PID=11610&title=beta-questions#11610 <![CDATA[Beta questions : I love getting emails like this...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=6333&PID=11609&title=beta-questions#11609 Author: WebGuyz

I love getting emails like this from our customers ;-)

----------------------------------------
I have noticed a huge decrease in the number of spams I get every day. It seems like about 60% have gone away.

Did you put them all in jail, or have they given up on me?

I don't want them back, I am just curious as to what has changed.

Thanks

Chuck

Simone,
 
The GrayListing works at the SMTP level and as a result, it is applied to ALL domains on the SFE instance.

A little question:

On SFE the Grey Listing could be apllied to all domains or you can choose wich one use and wich one will not?

Reading your post it seems the first option the right one, but will the second be possible in the future?

Thank you,

Just tossing out an idea here...

Currently configuration information is in a database and shared by all servers.

If you want to share your grey list, putting millions of IP Addresses into a database is probably going to be a BIG hit on performance.

Why not enable server to server communication directly between spamfilter machines?  There is no configuration, no changes are done by the administrator.  It is only the machines that need to share the information.  Have them do a sync directly between themselves.

Servers are registered in the database anyway, have each server update the database with its IP Address and some type of random key.  The servers can use that info to find each other and the key to ensure they are taking with who they think they are.


Thats it...

Roberto,
How about an option for the admin to decide  the interval when to flush the greylist to the db. and how often it should be reloaded.
I think a "select ip from table where id>max_id_we_have" every 10 minutes will not be so resource intensive.

Originally that was the plan, but that was during our early development stages, before we had a chance to see how well this beta worked :-)
For now we'll wait and see, as storing that list in a database does concern us due to its size and the frequency of updates to it.

Roberto,

 

I was referring to the single file in the SFE configurating which I thought was shared by ALL domains under that same SFE instance.  Am I wrong there?  I did not mean that the file itself could be shared by differant servers instances.


Misunderstood you. Yes, in this case you're absolutely correct. The file will apply to the entire SE installation, for all the domains it handles.

 

Each spam filter server currently keeps it own independent grey list. In our case, in this spam filter build SFE-1 and SFE-2 keep their own, separate grey list that is used globally per server. The information is never shared between SFE-1 and SFE-2.

 

Roberto did you say that in a future build grey list sharing for the enterprise version using the database should be supported?
