Configure the IMS (internet mail service/connector in echange manager)

You have to disable the microsoft smtp server (iis5 smtp) exchange 55 has its own smtp

Subject: [sniffer] OT - exchange 5.5 help

I know this is off topic, but I need a little Exchange 5.5 help. Recently
upgraded a client from NT4 with Exchange to Windows 2000 Server SP4 with
Exchange 5.5. I am having one problem though. The local server name is
server.example.com, which is fine and dandy for the internal network. I
need to add a domain suffix for the server for the outside world for sending
email. I need the domain suffix to be something like example1.com, where
example1.com is a real registered domain. Any help is appreciated and you
can email me off list.

Also, I did some incantations on the log (grep, awk, uniq etc) and
came up with just under half of our customers downloading their
rulebase between 1200 and 1300 today. That's between 2 and 3 times as
many as should have done it ;-) -- so the backlog is explainable.

This kind of thing happens for lots of reasons and there are a lot of
ways to mitigate the problem.

A big one on the list - certainly - is using the gzip capability. With
only 5% of folks using this and average compression ratios well above
50% there is plenty of room to make a big dent in this.

Didnt you post this a long time ago?
If you'll post it again i'll copy it and maybe convert it

Nothing to do with your conf.
You would add a system-wide startup script to do something like

file: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sniffer-persistent.sh
--
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
# note the  at the end tells the system to launch sniffer
# into the background and not wait for sniffer to exit
  # since persistent sniffer will not exit until killed

/var/spool/sniffer2/lic.exe shutdown-command (I don't have the
readme infront of me)

Subject: [sniffer] Postfix  Sniffer 2-3

I have not been following the postings closely, so my question may
already have been answered.

I am running postfix 2 with sniffer-2-2.2 with no problems. 
I would like to upgrade to sniffer-2.3.

This is an extract from my postfix conf:

smtp  inet  n   -   y   -   -   smtpd
-o content_filter=snfilter


I compiled the new sniffer 2.3 with no problem. 
How do I change my current conf to include the new persistent feature?

RE: [sniffer] Final beta (b2) for snfrv2r3

2004-04-07 Thread Tom Baker | Netsmith Inc
 My findings are that persistent is offering great benefits, havnt tried an 
 excessively harsh test yet, but i'm about to do that.
 
Just ran sniffer in both persistent and non-persistent modes with over 1,000 mesages 
in the overflow and MaxQueProc at 50. This pegs out my CPU between 90%  100% for the 
duration of delivery.
Screenshots  sniffer log snipplets at http://staff.netsmith.net/sniffer/Extreme_Load/ 
I wont waste the mailing lists bandwith for the attachments for those who dont want 
them.
 
I dont see an obvious different when the system is under heavy load, at least not by 
skimming the log files.
Could do some math on overall performance statistics I guess... # of messages 
processed in same timeframe, average times, etc.
