Roller Network

Hi, I've just introduced greylisting and the ELHO/HELO delay and carried out a DNS Report and my backup rollernet MX records seem to be failing for some reason. Here's the result: - - - FAIL Connect to mail servers ERROR: I could not complete a connection to one or more of your mailservers: mail.rol...

Hi glendale2x

I've sent you a PM with a mail log showing where my server adds the delay. Don't know if it's of any use, but thought I'd send it over anyway

Keep me posted

Superb, thanks glendale2x for looking into that and setting it up so promptly! It's a great feature and will hopefully reduce SPAM to your servers! Any idea when the new filter core upgrade is planned?

Also, any further news on setting up a higher level fake MX record?

Ah ok, that's perfect then.

Just the delay would be brilliant

Are you just looking for an option to add a delay in responding to HELO/EHLO, or something more complex? Just a simple option to add a delay. Any idea if this will be easy to implement and if so, when it could possibly be available? I use it on my primary mail server and find a lot of SPAM bots giv...

Hi,

Unless I've missed it, is it possible to add an SMTP HELO/EHLO delay?

Thanks,

Chris.

That'll be great and I'd be willing to test it!

Like you say, a lot of my SPAM comes from my backup service, yourself, so if I can minimize that even more, that'll be a bonus!

Any idea when you'll possibly have such a thing in place that I could try?

Thanks.

I read an interesting suggestion for preventing SPAM on the SPAMASSASSIN site today and wondered if this was possible? Fake MX Records Email is supposed to be sent to the lowest numbered MX record first with the higher MX records being backup servers. Spammers often with try the highest MX record fi...

Hmm, it sounds like you've quite a challenge and I don't envy you, but I'm sure you'll suss it and it'll be great.

Apologies I can't be of more help

Keep us post

What about MessageID, or is that only produced when the message is delivered?

Hi Glendale2x, It's something I've been thinking about for a while, but I've been working on other stuff since it's mostly a display issue. The log display will eventually be cleaned up to make correlating messages easier. That's good news that it'll eventually be looked at. I really like the whole ...

Hi Glendale2x,

No problem. I suspected it might be something to do with mutliple instances of the same address.

Thanks for replying

Keep up the great work

Hi, I've been using your service for near a week now and I'm very happy with the way it's working out! :D But I've a suggestion, hence my posting :P The logs are good, but I still find it quite difficult to match the incoming and outgoing of mail. Is there a way of clearly matching an incoming messa...

Hi,

I've been using your service for nearly a week now and I'm really happy with it, but I've a question.

On checking the logs, I've 15 incoming mail and 14 outgoing. How can this be the case?
