[sniffer] Re: Integration with Mailenable

There is in fact a Domain Keys plug-in for SmarterMail listed on their downloads page: 

   http://www.smartertools.com/Products/SmarterMail/DL/v4.aspx
Personally I'm not a fan of any present sender identification implementation. Both SPF and Domain Keys are primarily associated with spam by volume, and SPF can at cause one's customers issues when they do things like use alternative SMTP servers or find themselves behind an SMTP proxy at a hotel or T-Mobile HotSpot...but I digress.
I think that both IMail and SmarterMail are decent products, but neither one of them is perfect. SmarterMail certainly has a lower cost of entry. I would trust Jay's experience with MailEnable considering his extensive experience.

Hi Phil -

Good question.  We integrate Sniffer into SmarterMail via Declude.
However, SmarterMail does have the capability to run a program against a
message before it is delivered.  We have some customers that use a batch
file to call f-prot and get virus scanning integrated into their mail
server on the cheap.  I believe it would likely be possible to make use
of the same functionality to call Sniffer directly, and thus avoid
having to purchase Declude.  I have just never had a need to attempt
this.

As for domain keys, I don't believe so.  However, you can setup
SPFyou're your domains simply by adding the appropriate DNS records to
said domains zone files.

Jay,
Thanks for the heads up on Mailenable. I took a look at SmarterMail and it looks pretty good. How does it interface with Message Sniffer or does it require and external gateway such as EWall? How has support been with it and how have they been as far as updates. Also does it have "domain keys" capability and SPF support for sending mail to yahoo.com etc... 

Thanks,

Phil

Stay Away From MailEnable.

There are so many exploits out there for MailEnable, and there are more
exploits found monthly, if not weekly.  At one particular interval,
MailEnable had to re-release the same patch several times in the *same*
week because it kept on not actually fixing the root of the issue.  If
you run MailEnable, odds are that you will end up exploited, even if

you

stay on the of the patches.

On top of that, MailEnable is just simply a CPU and IO hog, much more

so

than other other mail server I have ever seen.  By default, they use
entirely text based configuration files, which on occasion get

truncated

to zero during periods of high activity on the server.

In the past year, we have assisted our customers move 20,000+ mailboxes
away from MailEnable, mostly all to SmarterMail.  Do not waste your

time

and money with MailEnable.

We are finally going to replace our old Vopmail server. Looking at
Mailenable Enterprise. Will Sortmonster work with that program? Is
anyone using Mailenable? If so how is it and if it works with
Sortmonster how did you use them together.

THanks,

Phil
