I just want to share the effect of adding a gateway to my setup.
I installed Alligate on the same server that is handling my imail/declude/sniffer/invuribl. My server was getting to be quite overloaded especially during peak time. I thought I was only processing about 40,000 mails a day. I was going by the imail daily report. Of course that was wrong. It does not include all the spam that never makes it to imail. I found that our when I installed DLAnalyzer from invariant Systems. To my amazement I was processing 500,000 mails a day. No wonder there was the odd crash of decludeproc or imail smtp After investigating solutions and a discussion with Darrell from Invariant, I decided to get Alligate. That was last week. I have it running smoothly with about 200 domains and my server has room to spare. Whereas the hardware was averaging around 90% utilization is it now at half that. Declude\imail is now reporting only 67,000 mails a day. Imail itself sees only 20,000. What a change. I sure hated to spend another 800 on spam but sure am glad I did. My hardware can last much longer. Times sure change 98% spam is huge when you get 500,000 mails a day Much thanks to Darrell for his assistance. I will gladly share more if anyone is curious Harry Vanderzand --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
