Hello Rob,
You're probably right, it might be a DNS problem...
I run dnsmasq (http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) on my
the traffic, unless you run
Ethereal on the xMail server.

Hi Jeff,
You can run ASSP on a different server than XMail. Also, you can use
it simply to verify that the address being sent to is a valid one - it
does not need to perform Bayesian -filter based SPAM blocking unless
you want it to (you could open up the ruleset

Hello Rob,
Henri, that does sound like it would work.
Sounds like it but there seems to be a glitch somewhere cause I wasn't
receiving *any* mail anymore... Bummer, and that on a day like
Valentine's day ;) I need to take a closer look
Hi Henri -
I suspect this makes little difference, but just in case you aren't
aware of this, you can run ASSP on a different computer - it doesn't
have to be the same system, and so Perl also does not need to be on your
XMail system. I'm not certain why you have feelings about running

Hi Henri -
That's odd. How many smtp threads were you running? I've set the
maximum to 16 now where 4 should be enough to handle all incoming mail
(easily!).
Whatever the default is (is it MaxMTAOps? - that is set to 16 on my
system). Running on FreeBSD on a Athlon XP running at 2 GHz, 1
Hello Phillip,
Don't block on catchall. I would guess you have blocked yourself
and/or some of the major email ip addresses that you receive from.
What I did that was preventing XMail from receiving any mail what so
ever was adding the ip address of the spammer.tab with /0 instead of
/32...
Check into configuring in server.tab [CustMapsList].
This should help a lot.

ASSP with XMail is an excellent solution for this - it is robust and
reasonably lightweight. ASSP checks the first number of K that you
specify to determine if an email is SPAM, then closes the session if it
is. You can specify valid user accounts in a text file or using LDAP.

Doesn't SMTP-MaxErrors in server.tab help with this?

Hi all,
