Hi all
I've moved my mailserver over to my Bitfolk VPS and I've configured it to use
several spam-reducing tools. I'm also using Bitfolk's shared spamassassin
instance as described here:
http://bitfolk.com/customer_information.html#toc_3_SpamAssassin___London__UK
(many thanks for providing this, by the way!)
It occurred to me that this service might be doing some of the same things as
I've configured locally and that this might be unnecessary duplication.
I've looked for an explanation of the configuration on the wiki but I
couldn't find one. I can see from the headers on incoming spam that Bitfolk's
spamds check messages against at least
bl.spamcop.net,
dnsbl.sorbs.net and
psbl.surriel.com:
X-Spam-Report:
...
* 1.2 RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET RBL: Received via a relay in
bl.spamcop.net
* 0.6 RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB RBL: SORBS: sender is an abusable web server
* 2.7 RCVD_IN_PSBL RBL: Received via a relay in PSBL
...
(IP addresses redacted to protect the guilty!)
Andy / Bitfolk people: Would it be possible to list the external services
against which your Spamassassin service is configured to check so that we can
avoid double-checking them? For the record I'm adding
zen.spamhaus.org to the
mix as well as doing SPF and DKIM/ADSP checking (which might be duplicating
DNS queries if Bitfolk's spamds are doing the same).
Regards
Richard.
