That would be great because the settings are so different in each case. I have found outbound so much more challenging to deal with lately and it is especially complicated in a gateway scenario where the message does not originate through the EFA server but something behind it (which is my case ...

One thing I thought would be really nice would be if EFA supported an "Outbound" configuration where it walked the user through setting up the device for outbound scanning, outbound spam filtering, setting up DKIM (including giving the txt record informtion to the user), etc..

Outbound ...

I setup a clustering-like solution using a policy service and some basic scripting. Basically every node is standalone and the policy service works using a central control source (which can also be clustered or distributed). In my case I have 2 policy checks... 1 at rcpt and 1 at end-of-message. The ...

Neat

Shawn it would be pretty cool if this was installed as part of EFA and we could just configure the services we wanted to use underneath it.... what do you think?

Hi all... I figured out how to get this working and set it up with invaluement (a paid service). Here are the instructions but I hid the URLs for the service since they give them to you when you sign up.

These instructions would also work for other services like UCEProtect, Lashback, and other ...

It appears you can use "yum install rbldnsd" and most of the documentation I have found is on RBL provider sites thus far. I have also reached out to Rob Mcewen at invaluement and asked for a trial account and he said he will be sending me some instructions. I guess I can post them here once they ...

Ok... I did some more poking and see we are using unbound (I got confused because I saw it listen when I did a netstat -tulpn | grep :53 and saw "unbound" so I thought it meant no process was bound to the port).

The next question is whether it will let me install rdnsbld on to of it. Does anybody ...

It seems as though I will need to understand a bit more about the way DNS works in EFA when recursion is turned on. RBLDNSD requires a local DNS server to be running. Is EFA running one? I don't see any processes for dnsmasq or bind or anything that would suggest there is a local DNS server or cache ...

Wow you weren't kidding on heavy... 20 cores + 512GB Ram and 8 SSDs... that is some serious muscle.

Why do you need 8TB for an EFA server though? That seems excessive if you are using it as a gateway server.

So what are the specs of the physical hardware you use to achieve the 2mil+ throughput?


Not the answer you will be looking for:

'it depends' :ugeek:

Do you intend to run the three VM's on 1 physical node? if so then you would be better off using one big VM and configure the mailscanner ...

Hi guys... I am just curious which do you think is more advantageous... running 1 machine with 18GB RAM and 6 VCPUs or 3 VMs with 6GB Ram and 2 VCPUs?

I am struggling with this as I am scaling up because in my current model I get pretty decent performance from the 6GB RAM 2 VCPU setup (about 150 ...

anybody ever seen this.... I get it when I go to the MailScanner web interface

Hey Shawn... I know I can add RBL entries to use DNS blocklists... but I was asking about whether there was anything in EFA to support a local DNSBL service where you rsync the RBLDNSD lists from services like Lashback or UCEProtect or any other that supply their lists so you can download them and ...

Does the EFA server have any mechanism for support RBLDNSD already in it if I want to use the rsync lists? I guess I am wondering if there is any already in the distribution that makes it possible to incorporate services like UCEProtect or Lashback any of the other providers that have rsync-based ...

Silly question but how do I see how many messages per day or per second my EFA server is processing

Can you be more specific... there is nothing in there that I can see that gives me much info

We recently had an issue where a bunch of our users got emails that said something like:

The mail system was attacked by a Denial Of Service attack, and has therefore \ deleted this part of the message. Please contact your e-mail providers \ for more information if you need it, giving them the ...

One other question about ram disk... does Clamd use it to unpack as well? Using a ramdisk for Clamd seems like a good idea as well.

I actually was unaware that the incoming directory for MailScanner was already a ram disk which was really what my suggestion was all about.

Has any consideration been given to adding an option to EFA to support the creation of a ram disk for faster processing?

Hi... I noticed that on occasion I see mailgraph taking up a significant chunk of the CPU. If I don't use any of the graphing elements in EFA... can I turn it off? If so... where?

Has anyone else had issues with clamd just stopping on their EFA installations? I have been experiencing an intermittent issue where clamd just stops responding and mail will queue up in the HOLD queue and either never be delivered or sit there for hours before it is delivered. Does anyone have ...

So does using the 3.0.0.5 with the automatic updates turned on achieve the same result?

Just a quick question... I noticed the announcement about 3.0.0.6 but I noticed on the download page the images are all 3.0.0.5... is there a reason for this? Shouldn't these be updated?
