Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : RE: Domino R6 and McAfee GroupShield 5.2

Hi Rick. We appear to be in pretty much the same position. I'm currently running 5.0.10 with GSD5 and lots of SPAM is being blocked using content scan rules however it's still only a small percentage of the flood coming in.
So like you I'm moving to R6 and the DNSRBL solution and GSD5.2. I've set up a test server running this config and everything seems fine although it's only processing a small amount of junk mail. The DNSRBL sites I used were bl.spamcop.net and sbl.spamhaus.org which I'd seen recommended and these are free with just a small donation asked for. The GSD log is empty so I'm assuming the DNSRBL function takes place before GSD processes it.
Next week I'm putting this config live so I hope my testing holds out.

One thing that might be useful to you is I've solved the problem of legitimate senders being on the blacklist sites. For example if a client is blacklisted but you need their mail to still be delivered to your users you can set up a server rule in the server config doc because the server rule takes effect before the DNSRBL function. My server rule moves the message to a mail file and I have an agent in that mail file to send it onto the user.

One final thing I'd be interested in hearing from you is if you have had server memory issues when running GSD (any version) because my experience has been that over 24 hours the memory gradually drops and after a couple of days the server can hang. I'm convinced it's GSD not being able to cope with the content scanning. I'm hoping that the DNSRBL will filter out a large percentage before GSD processes it so my fingers are crossed.

Hope this is some help to you.
