Well that's simular to ours.. but I've found that if the bl are listed in
the trusted area they delete the email just after 1 match.  Kind of sux
because we lost mail for a day that should of normally made it through.
What I did to circumvent the issue was to add the email ip addresses, that
we know are legit, to the trusted ip's area.  Also worth mentioning is I had
to add our non-routable ip address, of servers that auth via our backbone,
into the trusted area too.  The bl kept captureing the private ip's and
dump'n the email.  I've pretty much cut it back to just using the blacklist
feature with the ole kill.lst, rules.ima, & smptd32.acc file
functionalities.

IMHO we should of just went with the IMGate setup to lessen the load on the
IMail server.  Our server is not 'shoe boxed' ethier.  It's a 30,000 dollar
dell with quad xeon's, 4 gig ram, raid 1/0-5, etc. and it's a screamer.

I suspect if our load increases we'll be looking at the Declude Junk Mail
and etc to enhance the email usage and requirements.

Subject: [IMail Forum] **Anti-spam question**


I am just curious what others are doing in the spam settings of Imail 8.

I currently have all 5 of the free DNS blacklists enabled, Verify MAIL FROM
address, Verify HELO/EHLO Domain and Delete message after 3 matches setup.

Does anyone see a problem with that?

I am hesitant to turn on the reverse DNS lookup as I assume not all
companies have a reverse DNS setup.
