{Disarmed} Re: New to MailScanner

I don’t use postfix so I could be off base here, but according to the snertsoft site, milter-ahead works with postfix as well as sendmail.

I guess the whole point of my suggestion in the 1st place is that the original poster would want to use some form of recipient verification before processing with MailScanner IMO.  In my case Milter-Ahead does a great job but there is always more than 1 way to do things.

Regards,

Tracy

I've gone the milter-ahead route myself a couple of times; don't know if/how it applies to Postfix. I did find this through Google:

http://acidx.net/wordpress/2014/06/installing-a-mailserver-with-postfix-dovecot-sasl-ldap-roundcube/

In section 6 it describes how Postfix can check LDAP for valid recipients, if I interpret it correctly.

Just a brain shart.

Milter-Ahead is just a commercial mail filter addon.  It is a 1 time cost of
a little over 100.00 US.  It checks with the exchange box to see if it is a
valid recipient before MailScanner processes it.  It caches results as well.

If we wanted to have a discussion about free and not free, exchange is
certainly not free.

I was merely trying to point out that in a MailScanner gateway setup for
exchange, Milter-Ahead works great for making sure the recipient is valid on
the exchange server before any processing.

It really has nothing to do with spam filtering, it just keeps you from
processing mail with the MailScanner gateway and shipping it to the exchange
box after when it is not a valid recipient on the exchange box in the 1st
place.

Perhaps you misunderstood the point I was making.

How does graylisting do that or have anything to do with that?

It's probably just me, but.

Why would the OP need a paid service to do, what his free, and very potent
gateway, will do for him, in less cycles. Saving him the hassle of dealing
with a commercial entity, instead of a friendly and helpful user community.

A few keywords in google's search box would bring him more helpful
suggestions than yours.

BTW. I use sendmail too. I use smf graylisting:

http://www.greylisting.org/implementations/sendmail.shtml

https://www.google.dk/?gws_rd=ssl#newwindow=1 <https://www.google.dk/?gws_rd=ssl#newwindow=1&q=smf+greylisting+postfix> &q=smf+greylisting+postfix

If it's not postfix friendly, something similar should be easy to find.

Just a brain fart.
