Many email configurations do not do effective spam checking on their backup email servers. Spammers know this, so they intentionally send spam to lower priority mail servers. Spamdyke is pretty much only effective when it operates on the perimeter, communicating directly with the sending server. If spamdyke is not installed on a backup server, the one running on the primary server becomes ineffective. The best solution is to have spamdyke running on *all* MX servers for your domain(s). -- -Eric 'shubes' _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
