Our spam load for various domains has exploded, and the "I CAN SPAM" bill hasn't even become law yet. Here's the problem: if one of the domains I act as a secondary for goes off line for a few days I can now fill-up queue to it's crippling max of 32k number of messages. I'm looking for some ways to mitigate this.
First, much of our spam has Return Receipt requests. Did an easy way to turn off ever get put into the latest SIMS version? If not, reading the SIMS archives leaves me with the understanding that the Return Receipt string one has to munge cannot be edited with ResEdit, but rather a hexeditor on the compiled binary. That's a bit scarier. If so, anyone have the latest, already altered?
Second, is there some better way to be a secondary server, and make SIMS stored queued messages in one file rather than in a directory? My guess is that I'm finally hitting a wall there with SIMS (or rather OS 9). It can handle the load ok, until someone goes off line then my server grinds to a near halt and gets unstable as the queue directory gets in the 20k+ number of messages...
Any suggestions are appreciated.
