As an aside, has anybody else noticed a large increase in spam to what was, a previously 'clean' address?
I've got catchall emails setup for several domains and I was getting about 300 spam a day. A few months back that started to creep up to a normal day of about 5000 and a bad day of 31000. Needless to say, the poor little server was spawning exim4 and spamassassin so fast that the out-of-memory killer kept on taking out the mail system. I ended up changing the MX DNS records to: 10 spam.example.com, 20 smtp.myrealserver.co.uk, 30 tarbaby.junkmailfilter.com First day there were 15 spam and about the usual 60 valid emails. It's nice and I hope it lasts. Bill
