Hi:
I have some domains and users on a Windows Surge Mail Machine I  would like to move to a Linux Surge mail Machine.  Is there a method of doing this without have to reenter the names and users?
Thanks!

Set-it up as a mirror slave. Once they move change it to master.

The easiest way is to set the new machine up as a mirror and
allow the 
old machine to transfer all data.  After the data and users
are received 
and verified make the new machine the master.  I have done
this twice 
now as our system has grown and it works with no problems. 
Just follow 
the instructions on setting up a mirror.

Yes and then you can keep the older machine as the backup -
slave.  Then in 
3 years or so you rotate a newer server in place.

New Domain Key Question
country flaguser name

2008-05-16 13:06:33
Now that I finally got it working.  Do I take the t=y out of
(both) my dns 
records?  Surgemail says the (testmode)  t=y is
recommended.

Also, do all the domains use the same key?  Are the keys
automatically added 
to all domains sending through this server?

Thank you in advance

To all the good tekkies here:
zen.spamhaus.org has been very valuable as an RBL, however they are now going into a phase where if the IP address of your DNSs make too many queries, they (or an agent) will send you a letter asking for $800+, $1500+, $3000+&nbsp;per year... based on the number of email accounts.
The letter also contains a threat to disallow any further communication with spamhaus.org
I deem the letter to be serious.
 
While a few thousand bucks per year is a good investment, I'd rather put that money into my Vette.&nbsp; Surely you guys have a better use also.
My fear is that it seems like Spamhaus.org, Google and others are eventually going to control a lot of the internet.
 
One thing we can do is to ask Netwin to setup a DNS for us, bite the bullet, and then rebill a share to us Surgemail admins.
Another thing we can do is to grep the daily logs and add those to our own RBLs. ; The RBL would need to be first in line.
Our own RBLs then can keep an IP listed for 30, 60, 90 days vs the typical 'hours' cacheing.
 
My question is:  Can we insert a line of code into the Surgemail logging section that If an IP is found in <named RBLs> then add a formatted line into a database or txt file. ; I'd say that a db would be more pracical.
 
Netwin:&nbsp; Please consider having a Level1 RBL and an Level2 RBL.  If found in Level1, then don't check Level2, saving hits with outside RBLs.
And if an IP is found in Level2 > zen.spamhaus.org Then add to <database of Level1 RBL>
 
What are your thoughts on this guys?

This is nothing new and has been their public policy for a long time. ; They used to just block your queries without warning.&nbsp; At least they are sending a letter now.

Are you denying, accepting or stamping based on an rbl hit?

If you are denying on an rbl hit, then surge should stop checking the other rbls you have configured.  Therefore if you check Zen last, then your other RBL's will catch some before getting to Zen.

We don't use Zen here only PBL and XBL and then only after NJABL decided to give Spamhaus it's dynamic ranges.

I have not read the Spamhaus Service Agreement to determine if it's acceptable for NetWin to 'resell' the Spamhaus lists.

Netwin wouldn't need permission to resell.... they're not selling.
The point here is that I'm looking for a mechanism to store IPs for3 or 6 months at a time, not days.
