Spam protection for SmartRelay server

[Martin S.]

Hi guys,

Spam protection for outgoing e-mails has been added to smart relay. All the e-mails detected as spam are quarantined for a week. We gonna monitor the quarantine & the system itself for about a week, and if everything OK - we'll change the IPs on smart relay and will put it in production.

If you notice that your e-mails are not being delivered - plz send us a ticket and don't forget to include:
- "from" address
- "to" address
- date (time)

Here is the list of smartrelay-protected hosts: gold, sun, comet, usa, bear, rs6

Whoohoo! I hope you catch the guy sending spam that kept getting the relay server blocked from Road Runner!

Usually, it's valid users forwarding spam that got smartrelay blocked. This is why we started running spam filters on outbound mail.

Not so fast guys, not so fast It's not catching all the spam atm. Only 4k messages in quarantine. That's the amount I'm getting to my personal e-mail for about 4 days. So it looks like it's missing something.
