[SURBL-Discuss] Help for the Windows Guy!

[Jeff Baker]

We use Exchange 2000 on our back-end server which is a Compaq DL380
w/4gb memory.  Currently we use McAfee's Groupshield on this unit. 

I'm not sure on an external call from Ex 2000.  What was your experience
with spam before and after implementation of SA?

I am one of the first to have jumped on this wagon, what type of mail
server
are you planning to install this in?  Does it provide some way to tie in
an
external program?  Each mail server is very different how they handle
this,
we used Vopmail and it provides what's called an "agent" which is a
batch
file you specify to be executed upon arrivial of mail.  This works fine
but
you need to know how to program batch files...  How you accomplish this
depends on what your mail server allows you to do.
It sure is easier setting up a freebsd box to run only e-mail and not
have
to worry about it for a long time!  We haven't touched our mail servers
except to upgrade our clamAV once a year.

When I ran SA under Win32, I had to keep a close eye on things to make
sure
they didn't blow up and let me assure you THEY WILL!
