How do I set the argument to EHLO to the server name I want to use. At this point EHLO simply identifies itself as the primary machine name, but not as the DNS entry for the IP addressed used.

 

Thanks -alex

 

Great.  Yeah, my destination server is set up to verify RDNS on the EHLO message, and so I got a bunch of warnings whenever SpamFilter sent a message to it.

Overall I really like your product! However, I have some severe performance issues. I'm running it on a dedicated Windows 2000 server at this time, whenever SpamFilter is active, the system acts very very slow in the Gui.

Any tips for increasing performance would be welcome. We are receiving about 40-80 connections PER SECOND, and 99.9% of it is SPAM. Now you see why I NEED a great product like SpamFilter!

 

 

 

Alex,

If you have 40-80 concurrent connections at anytime, that will generate a lot of events in the activity log. If SpamFilter's *GUI* is slow, it's possible that your video card is not able to handle the amount of scrolling that occurs in the "Activity Log" and/or "Connections" tabs in SpamFilter. Try to de-activating both displays (with the "Enable Activity Log" checkbox on the ActivityLog tab, and the "Disable Conns Grid" checkbox on the Settings-Configuration tab).

If you receive in the order of a few millions emails/day, we'd recommend disabling the Bayesian filter as well, as it requires a lot of resources and is not that effective/accurate in high traffic installations. Bayesian filters were "ok" to use a few years ago, but nowdays spammers can easily word emails to go around them.

caratking,

We're adding that option to the new SpamFilter 3.5 release. There's a beta version available in the registered user area, and it will be another month or so before it is released officially.
