I have a spammer shoveling spam to my list server. I just throw them away and not try to bounce them because they are often fake addresses anyway. So since my list server accepts them he thinks they are getting through.
A couple of years ago I tried putting one of my SIMS servers inline ahead of the list server so that SIMS would use all it's normal anti- spam measures to bounce the obvious spams but my list server didn't like the arrangement for some reason and I dropped that line of defense.
I do that, and also have ASSP in line before my SIMS server. It makes a big difference, better than SIMS' anti spam capabilities.
But I need to give it a try again.
My SIMS server is called
listsend.serversmiths.com
and my list server does actually send all it's mail out through that server.
My list server is called
lists.serversmiths.com
As I remember I was to point the DNS for
lists.serversmiths.com
at the IP for listsend.serversmiths.com
Yes
and have a router entry for something like
lists.serversmiths.com = lists.serversmiths.com.smtp
can anyone confirm that I have the issues correctly in my mind.
Should work.
I have so many different domain names on the various lists (and not that many lists in all) that I just put them in the router individually...
<listname@domain.com>=listname@listserv.domain.com
(where domain.com is on SIMS and listserv.domain.com is the list machine.
Is there anyway to do the routing using the IP nos?
Should I try something else?
Best thing would be to have your listserver behind a firewall on a local address that your SIMS server can see, but the outside world can't. Otherwise they'll eventually get the name/IP of your listserver and resume sending directly to it. I keep telling myself I need to do this myself some day....
