I'm running some initial setup tests as I plan to migrate from SM 4 to 5 and to a new server. We're currently using declude to handle all of our spam filtering, but are hoping to drop the extra cost if SM 5 can provide reasonable filtering for us. I have turned on simple spam filtering at the...

I wish they would too - as customers can't they see that a big issue for us is SPAM

I am new to smartermail and am presuming that I have set something incorrectly as neither SpamAssassin or Content Filtering appear to be working for me. For SpamAssassin, it does not look like it is listening on the standard port 783, each time it starts, spamd is on a different port, the output from...

Ok i will remove one of them. I just added the Zen.Spamhaus.org this morning. SO it is unrelated. As is all of this discourse.... The real issue is this log entry that i posted an hour ago. AND that is what i need input on... This error logs hundreds of times a day since my problem started. Unable to...

Also, netstat reveals that nobody is listening at port 783. and yes, the default of 783 is set for spam assassin in Smartermail. No config changes done in months, but this started suddenly at 4:30am 4 days ago and has not stopped, even after reboot.

I had another thread going, but i was afraid it was stale and this is a whole new tack to the problem. I was posting a massive increase in spam issue, now i know why, i just don't understand what happened. I checked my delivery logs starting the day i saw the problem start and it is littered with...

Ok, i finally was thinking smart and checked the delivery logs. The day it started, at 4am, this msg started appearing and has not stopped. fyi, i have rebooted the server, to no avail. All services appear to be running and i was NOT making anything except alot of ZZZZZsss at 4am that day... Unable to...

I find it incredibly hard to believe that after months of working spectacularly, that all of a sudden, with no changes, i should be flooded with spam again. Has nobody seen this phenomenon recently? is it possible that one of the RBL sites i am using has shutdown? i use DSBL Standard, Spamcopy and SpamHaus...

I have been running Smartermail 4.3 for several months and it works great! All of a sudden, with no config changes, Spam has been sneaking thru for all domains. Where i was seeing 5 a day, now i am seeing 50 a day. Any ideas what could cause this?

OKay, I've read, and been told from Tech support that the spamassassin that comes with SmaterMail is single threaded.. However.. I've successfully gotten it to run in multithread mode by running it from the command line with the following command line. spamd -m 50 --min-spare=25 --allow-tell...
