> Log files get too big too quickly. I would log if it's a frequent problem. Salama, No offense, but that is a horrible excuse. Logging is part of doing business responibly. Luckily log files compress very well (turn on ntfs compression on the log dir), but you should be keeping at least 6 months worth, preferably at least a year. At some point in their lives, most ISP's get served with one supeona or another. It's not the most comfortable position to be in not being able to respond to the order. John, > Shouldn't the enduser dictate what is acceptable and what is not? Shouldn't the enduser's admin be the one responsible for enforcing said wishes with his own defensive devices? That doesn't neccesarily mean that RBL's are outdated. On my system my spam filter allows the user to specify a level of filtering from 'off' to 'very high'. Different levels use different RBL's (and different response classes from various RBL's). For example a 'low' setting might just block known spammers based on RBL, but a 'medium' block known spammers and addresses on the dialup list. High my add a more agressive RBL like SpamCops. This way the user can 'dial' the level they are comfortable with. We apply this level idea to all of the engines we have (although users can't select which engines to run, we 'choose' what defines 'medium' vs 'low' vs 'high' etc). Off is pretty easy to define tho :) One final note, I just got enough of the CloudMark stuff hacked up to actually run it as a task from my filter. Why I don't think RBL's are going away, CloudMark and other 'distributed' networks look really interesting moving forward.
