Thanks, Darin! I've written scripts using DNSCMD before; I guess I should see what is involved in RNSYNCing that UCEPROTECT zone for starters. SimpleDNS seems to come with a handy HTTP interface though; I could write some custom Cold Fusion Components to manage the whole process. I already use a bunch of Cold Fusion scripts to parse DLAnalyzer reports every night and drop them into SQL. (DLAnalyzer is fantastic; just thought that should be said again) Should I post my notes here, or is this old hat for everyone on this list? -- Michael Cummins --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

Re: Re[6]: [Declude.JunkMail] Cutting down on DNS
Hi Michael, I'm using Windows 2003 DNS server as well, and have had no trouble with it at all. There are some advantages to Simple DNS when it comes to integration and replication of an entire server, but I've made up those deficiencies with scripting around the DNSCMD utility in the Windows Server Resource Kit.. As for what server to use, the mail systems seem to perform better with a local DNS server for lookup, and we do DNSBL replication onto those servers as well.

I have it installed on both of the SmarterMail/Declude/Sniffer/INVURIBL boxes.

It seems a few people here already do this. What DNS servers do you use to do this? Do you use separate dedicated servers to do this, or do you do it on your Declude server?

Yes, same way DSBLs usually work, only when you replicate the zone, your DNS server is authoritative, so there is no outside lookup. > I Googled a few of the more useful RBLs on my list.

UCEPROTECT is free to replicate locally (HTTP or RSYNC) http://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=6&s=0 Note that the resulting downoaded file is in RBLDNS format. So you would convert it to a standard zone file. What DNS server do you use? Considering that UCEPROTECT folks say a maximum of 1,000 (!) direct requests per day are supported, you would be well advised to replicate this one. --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: sa...@cypressintegrated.com 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.
