yup, but it's a quick check that stops a good deal of "100% confirmed spam", proportionate to the amount of mail processed. Some spammers do use spam domain names in the from. Out of 145,000 mails in a week, just checking the mailfrom/helo/received lines (before launching SA), stops 20%, all of it spam, with each of those mails scanned in under 0.1 seconds (the dns lookup). That's good. :) URL checking is even better... but SA on my machine takes 2-5 seconds per mail on average, so doing quick tests like above saves a lot of clock cycles. > I'd love to see integration of one of the surbl spamassassin-plugins, > or similar functionality, directly in qmail-scanner though. That would be interesting, especially if it's quicker than SA. -- Jay Swackhamer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nebularis Inc <http://www.nebularis.com> Tel: 1-613-843-9358 Fax: 1-613-825-5960 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ Qmail-scanner-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qmail-scanner-general
