A handful of our email addresses get excessive amounts of spam, due to a webmaster who put them on the website for a year or so...
I created a forwarding alias in the postfix virtual file to forward them to a devnull alias. But SA (amavisd, actually) was still checking each one. With a high load on the box, being the result.
I added the devnull address to the spam-lovers list, and the load dropped right away. The devnull address links to /dev/null.
In my situation, using postfix and amavisd, adding the destination address (devnull) to the spam-lovers list has had the result that you are looking for.
I hope this helps! -------------------- Timothy Burt Los Angeles, Calif. USA On Tue, 6 Jun 2006, Gary Forrest - Netnorth wrote:
Hi All We have been using SA v3.1.1, all seems to work well :) ( FreeBSD 6.1, Sendmail 8.13.6 & few milters ) Is it possible to get SA not to scan inbound email addressed to certain domain names. We have looked at the various white listing functions available, by adding into local.cf whitelist_from sender.com whitelist_to receiver.com This sort of works, in that the email receives a negative score. The problem is SA still spends time checking the email ( taking 3-12 seconds to scan ) This server also performs Anti Virus function via Clam AV, and we would to offer AV services to certain customers, with providing SA services.
