Hello,

I have installed the spamfilter isp (latest version) or 2 machines.

I will use one as the incoming filter and the second as the outgoing filter.

The email setup is something like this.

Email from the internet -> spamfilter-incoming -> incoming-mailserver -> if mail for internal users -> mailstore server

else if mail for external domain -> spamfilter-outgoing ->outgoing-mailserver

Mails origionated internally go through the spamfilter-outgoing.

The outgoing part is working fine (This server can only be accessed from internal hosts). It has * as Local Domains

The incoming spamfilter is the one that will be connected to the internet and I have to define around 20,000 domains in it.

When I tried to paste that in the interface the application hung.

Question: How do you handle this large lists?

Is there a way to make a lookup in a database or ldap or external script to know if the relay should be allowed for a certain domain?

We expect to grow very fast to more domains so I would really like to know how other ISPs in the spam filter community handling this.

thanks and best regards.

Hello Mr. Franceschetti ,

Thanks for your quick response.

The hardware is a multi cpu x86 machine running vmware gsxserver.

The spamfilter is running in the guest host with 1GB of ram. I can increase this to 2 or 3 GB if needed.

I will try with editing the file directly. This is what we will be doing anyway with some script as we add domains.

PS: Is there any possibility in the future to add a feature to make a lookup from a db?

atif,

There have been several threads about reading several of the lists out of a database and what we do ( and several other users) is to keep the domains, filters, etc in a database and use a stored procedure to create the changes in the text files.  This works very well for us and the DB is linked with our customer/billing database so that a customer that cancels or a domain that expires doesn't stay in the spamfilter OR our Sendmail server.

Hello Mr. Franceschetti ,

I have sent a few emails to support@logsat.com which you never recieved I guess.  Are you blocking my servers :-)??

I will try to send you the same file from a gmail account.

PS: Would it be possible to make some changes to the software? Customization work?

best regards
