So I run my own mailserver that serves http:\/\/FuguTabetai.com\/, http:\/\/MangaTranslation.com\/, http:\/\/SMUGeeks.com\/, and http:\/\/JevansCeramics.com\/. The problem is, even after adding some extra rules to SpamAssassin, it really hasn’t done a great job catching the spam, and worse it takes up a lot of RAM and CPU time on my virtual private server. The VPS is from http:\/\/RimuHosting.com\/, and is really great. Look them up if you are in the market. <\/p>\n
Anyway, each email would take about 600 seconds to process. That is a long time, and worse it was really bogging down the other apps on the system, such as this blog, or the forum for MangaTranslation.com. <\/p>\n
So what I’ve done is turn off SpamAssassin, and forwarded the email catch-all for each domain to my GMail account. That has been working very well. Since most of my spam goes to untargetted email addressess, or aliases that I send to the catch-all, GMail catches the spam, and I just have to check my GMail account once in a while to find stuff that got through. Also, I set up some filters on GMail to mark which domain the email came from.<\/p>\n
I could take this a step farther, and have GMail forward email that makes it into the in-box back to one of my accounts here. If I did that though, I would need to add a rule to postfix to have it check the header, and deliver any GMail-forwarded mail locally. Right now that doesn’t seem like much of a problem, so I’ll skip that step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
