Roberto, you mention that there is now a HoneyPot setting....I have 2.5.1.441 installed but do not see a tab or setting for this feature.  Can you tell me where this is set?]]> Wed, 18 May 2005 19:06:17 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5145&PID=5846&title=next-update#5846 <![CDATA[Next Update : Although there may be some quirks...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5145&PID=5842&title=next-update#5842 Author: Alan

Although there may be some quirks depsnding on how it is used, it wouldreally be a useful feature for others who want to have theredundancy.  Others who do not want to use could simple not doso.  What are the chances you can put this into a build?

If I understood correctly, are your secondary MX servers forwardingemails to SpamFilter? If so, you may want to reconsiders, as since manyof SpamFilter's rules work on the spammer's IP. IF SpamFilter sees yoursecondary's IP instead of the real sender, many tests will beunreliable and SpamFilter's actions will be inaccurate. I would seeyour request for an exception, but there may be other quirks with thatconfiguration.

"System" messages, as reloading of files, are usually independend onthe number of emails received, and will cause a fixed amount of entriesper day. The bulk of the logs are caused by entries related to incomingemails. Each incoming email will usually generate about a dozen logentries, so the more email traffic, the more logs.

PS - there's an ini option to relocate the logfile directory if needed.

//Eric,

Logging is "fixed" and can't be changed//

--yes off course but i ment modes,
like debug level logging, advanced, and normal.
(spamfilter.ini loglevel 1,2,3 ...)

personally, the reload message in the logs is not so important, and even that value might be configurable in a feature version, we now handle 2,6 million mails a day,
our company grows and grows through europe, and logfiles are now on a spare u360 scsi drive, in order to keep performance in a normal level.

the earlier (~timer-minute-timer) problem was caused by the pci latency and extreme high i/o load which a dell 2850 with perc4-raid (3 drives) could no longer handle.
(busmastering problem between nic and scsi adapter)

i mean, i know logsat works great, and beyond that, but with these loads, you want to have something to spare,
and not extra informational logging in huge files.

(our max mailsize is 40480kb and 50% of our users use that daily and receive it through logsat also ..)

Eric,

I feel the you can never log "too much". I have a script to "split" the logs on servers where they get too large.

Eric,

Logging is "fixed" and can't be changed. We'd rather keep it that way,as often problems occur ones and are not repeated. If logging was notthere, we (and the admins) would not be able to find eventual problemsfor which the logs will provide an answer. Often all that is needed isjust a few day's worth of logs, an automated script to purge old logsis "safer" than performing less logging (and helps us tremendously inproviding support!)

Roberto, another request. 

Currently the :NULL tag can be added to cause an email to be discarded even if on a list that is set for quarantine. 

Can you create another tag that allows an email to be quarantined eventhough it on a list set for "Do not quarantine"  This makeshandling exceptions easier.  (or does this exist already?)

Specifically this is in reference to the honeypot IP list.  I havea couple of backup MX IP's that are being used by spammers that I needto be able to quarantine, but the rest on the honeypot IP's can all bediscarded as "Do not quarantine".  I need a way to tag thosecouple of IP's
