I'm looking at redoing my mail setup due primarily to spam filtering. Over at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Spam-Filtering-for-MX/multimx.html, they are suggesting not to use redundant mail servers unless needed for load balancing.
The last time I set up a major mail server, which was indeed a few years ago, common sense was to always have a backup MX. But then that was before the days where joejobs, spam/viruses with forged headers, etc. were popular and troublesome. Now, I'm not really an ISP (this was the closest list I could find for this topic), but I do host a number of mid-size mailing lists and also receive a good deal of mail myself. I'm wondering what your thoughts might be on no longer having a backup MX outside my direct administrative control (or even one that is within my administrative control). It seems to make a lot of sense to me, but it seems too that I must be missing something. Thanks, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
