hi Jay and everyone else who can help,
Everytime an email is sent to our mailing list, all 100 emails on the list are scanned one by one (by brightmail) although they are the same email!
How can I configure the messaging server to filter only the incoming message before the addresses are added?
I have two FrontEnds with Sbas on them and a BE message store.
Jay,
I have sourcespamfilteroptin on tcp_vscan channel.
My problem is that the mailing list is expanded before it reaches tcp_vscan, so the same message is scanned many times instead of only once.
Is there a way to pass the original message to the tcp_vscan channel and then expand the mailing list?
thanks
I'm still a l ittle confused about how you have your system configured, but . . .
If you're using the Messaging integration with BM (BrightMail), there's no need for a "tcp_vscan" channel at all.
You can put the sourcespamfilteroptin keyword on tcp_local. That way the messages will be scanned before alias expansion.
That's the recommended way to handle this.
I'm not really sure how this will help you.
The mailhost on a mailing list will govern on which box it's to be expanded. Putitng that on the back end will cause the list to be expanded on that back-end machine.
Having no mailhost value will cause the list to be expanded on the first of your systems it reaches.
