RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 100 Point scale / DNS

[John Olden]

We moved up to a 100 point scale last year. We hold at 100 and delete at 250. This seems to work well with catching false positives. Most of our FPs have been below 200 but occasionally one will get over that because of something I didn't see in the config. Usually it's because of a repeated word setting off Spamchk where I had some part of that work listed by accident. But as others have said, this is our setting and may not work for others in different situations. We only do about 1500-2000 messages a day. We are not an ISP.   John Olden Systems Administrator Champaign Park District   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kornitz, David Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 7:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] 100 Point scale / DNS First Question:   I know this issue has been discussed in the past, but I would like to make sure I understand the discussions:   1.                   We are contemplating revising the scoring to a 100 point scale 2.                   I assume that when the conversion is made that initially you select the value for 100 point and then proportionally adjust the scores up.   Questions:  What weight did you use for the 100 points? Was it the delete weight? Or the hold weight?  or something in between the values?       Second Question:               I am receiving a lot of DNS timeout values, yet when I go the run the IP address through NSLookup, it returns the address immediately.  The primary address on the server is a Windows 2003 DNS server, secondary addresses are linux DNS servers.   What DNS servers is Declude using when doing a DNS lookup?  As I recall, there was a way to specify these values in the global.cfg but I was not able to locate any information on this.   Anyone have any recommendations or insight into the problem?   Thanks for you help in advance,   David
