RE: [vps-mail] sendmail / procmail / spamassassin and black smtp holes on VPS1 C

["AJ Willmer" <ajwbusn@xxxxxxxx>]

I don't think so.
SA is a resource hog and can overload server. It's better with spamd/spamc
but still buggy (v2.6 is a lot better). It seems to queue a bunch of e-mail
and I can see server use 'overload' and I think SA 'crashes'.

SA 2.6 on VPS2 is working very smoothly for me ... but only had it up for a
few days. DCC and Razor working smoothly as well.

Anyway .... default behavior for SA is "a 'safe fallback' error-recovery
method, which passes through the unaltered message if an error occurs"

I think that this is what we are seeing. If your procmail recipes are
dependent on SA flags you will see nothing.

I have not tried telling SA to flag its errors and re-queue the message but
documentation is here:

-x flag in this doc http://useast.spamassassin.org/doc/spamc.html

on VPS1 C

Hi everybody,

when SPAM bypasses sendmail/procmail/spamassassin leaving even nothing in
the log files 
one has to assume there are not only port 25 and 5190 for smtp on VERIO's
VPS1 (C) but 
also some (one or more !?) black smtp holes for VERIO SPAMMERS? Anyone here
with similar 
experience?
