What are you doing with its Postmaster account? I personally like to have separate Postmaster accounts for my primary and both secondary MXes on the theory that if I'm regularly checking mail on those secondaries I know that they're up and running against the day I may need 'em. I also tend to use more restrictive blacklists on my secondary servers than on the primary. Since I should be receiving less mail on them, I don't care that more RBLs take longer, for instance; I'm also more tolerant of collateral damage, since there's a much smaller percentage of legit mail that will pass through those secondaries. In fact, I'm in the process of migrating my secondary servers to Postfix because it will allow me more customizable anti-spam filters than SIMS provides (plus it will run on OS X without classic, which allows me to consolidate some of the swarm of single-purpose boxes now decorating my server room). -- Dave Pooser Manager of Information Services Alford Media http://www.alfordmedia.com ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
