Ouch, I can see why. OK, the evil rules will change by the end of the month. This run had been done on a 75 meg spamtrap that was spanning many many moons. I found I needed much better spamtrap managment. So now I will update evilrules every month, using only the previous 30+ days of spamtrap. running the hit frequency script on my traps showed me that many of these evil domains died out anyway.
Also I gots me a good text editor now ;) So no more of this hidden character junk. Plus I don't feel like looking thru 1700+ rules anymore :) I may do an evilrules short run today. But the trap will only be about 15+ days old. But it may help for now. Depends on how the day goes. So far we had a power outage and my firewall went belly up, and the line printer decided it would like to eat greenbar rather then print on it. --Chris S. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Farber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 9:44 PM > To: Chris Santerre; 'Robert Leonard III'; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SAtalk] Too many rules? > > > I tried the evilrules.cf on my dual AMD 1Gb 2 Ultra-SCSI > qmail server and it > died in minutes. > > I run 100K+ emails in a 24 hour period.
