SA advocate though I am, I can't say that's the case. The speed of a UDP DNS lookup is far faster than a SPAMC32/SPAMD TCP connection for even a tiny message, due both to UDP vs. TCP differences and the amount of data sent for SMTP/MIME mail (i.e. the entire message, if it's <= SPAMC32's max message size). The _response_ stage from DNS and SPAMD servers might be somewhat comparable in size and speed, but certainly not the request or processing stages. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
