Did you either fill out the flat files for local users and domains and the ldap info or both? I would reco both. I supplied scripts to create the flat files (see web site faq).


Oh I might have forgotten in the instructions but I remember the Glenn, never "bothered", to use his phrase, to update his ldap to support domain queries so you will need to use the flat file to identify those.

I tested the ldap email query a while ago and it worked fine but I am running without it and using flat file due to numerous reaons not having to do with EIMS and ASSP so I can't certify that the query will work on the current eims (I am also running 3.3.7). I know that below 3.3 eims ldap doesn't work at all.

I had an error when I did this for my first domain:

The  account and domain exists so I am not sure what I missed

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 and port

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 ;-)
