rbls in sendmail

[Support ePaxsys/FRWS]

Hi

'Personally' we run the RBLs all from inside Sendmail and use MailScanner
for virus checks and rudimentary SPAM checks only. DNSBL set up for
Sendmail is a piece of cake.
We use 5 or 6 DNSBLs including the SBL-XBL SpamHaus list.

The load on our busiest mail server is rarely above 2 or maybe 3 handling
tens of thousands of mails a day. Hats off to the MailScanner folks for a
versatile and friendly program. We just leave the DNSBL stuff to Sendmail
to lessen the server load and make log parsing/stats far easier.

The J-Chkmail Milter does 'some' SPAM trapping (only REAL obvious SPAM,
non-negotiable types) and Procmail does the final SPAM handling for us.

Regards
Jerome
