[Asterisk-Users] What was the fix? (was good job on the list server)

[Brian West]

Chris,
	We setup the mailing list to filter to postini (postini.com) they
are the frontend MX records for lists.digium.com with two data centers and
multiple mail cluters to filter mail.

Why did we do this?  Saves digium bandwidth.  The spam/virus mail never
hits digiums network.

We removed the local spam filtering from the server on digiums network
since we turned on the settings in postini to block the spam.  We had to
lower the setting to its lowest but it still blocks 45% of all spam before
it hits digiums network without false positives.

In addition postfix was set to a default 50 smtp processes (that is far
from enough) so I put it at 200,  We may adjust that over the next few
days down after everything on the list settles down.

Thanks,
Brian
