OK I have eims on one machine and assp on the other. I haven't done
any thing besides install assp and point it to my mail servers ip

I have a bunch of domains I want to move over a little at a time.
What would be my best methodology? Can I leave smtp access open from
the world for the time being? Do I need to?
How do people log into assp to manage their spam? I am sure I will
have a milion more questions but that is all I have for now.
OK Easiest way is to
1) whitelist no delay assp machine in eims and leave eims as it is
2) point a domain's MX to the assp machine; if your clients use a
different host (eg smtpout.yourdomain.com) change that as well. Leave
pop and imap pointed to eims machine (might think about adding a host
as imap.yourdomain.com and pop.yourdomain.com and
simap.yourdomain.com and pops.yourdomain.com if you are thinking
about using CTW:STunnel (formerly know as sslXproxy) later) Note
that there will be a certain amount of spam going directly to eims
because not all spambots bother to check dns with any degree of
regularity.
3) when you are all moved over lock down EIMS and turn off every
"antispam thing" except the rejecting smtp from anywhere but assp.
Hope that answered your questions and when you have more maybe I'll
have my tip jar open ;-)
