Re: [cobalt-users] Hardware SPAM / Antivirus solution?

How is that used with a RaQ?


My understanding: it's a hardware appliance that sits in between the network connection and our bank of RaQs. It scans/cleans/marks-as-spam all incoming mail, and then forwards the good stuff to the appropriate mail server(s).

I'm looking at software solutions as well, but would probably prefer a hardware solution because of potential server load problems mentioned here on the list.


I just put a seperate linux machine in front of the RaQ running Postfix & SpamAssassin (with Clam AV & F-Prot) - works really well, and users can change their preferences via a webpage. SpamAssassin can store user prefs in MySQL.. I have that running on the "mailgate" box as well.

Externally, all MX records point to the mailgate box. inbound SMTP is firewalled off on the RaQ. Works really well. :)
