razor pyzor dcc
Hi all,
what's the best practise about using razor pyzor and dcc. Should you use
all 3 or only one ? Which one is best ?

dcc does require that the host can make udp connections out through a firewall,
see http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/firewall.html for more information.
In some locations this may not be possible. You should not enable dcc if the
traffic is firewalled or at least disable it if debugging shows failure to
contact the dcc servers correctly.
Regards,
Rob

Razor installs as a perl module. DCC installs as a compiled app, and Pyzor
requires Python to be installed.
I am running on two dual 750mhz servers with 768mb of memory and mirrored
drives, running RedHat 9, with Postfix 2.1.4, Postgrey 1.14, Amavisd-New
2.0, ClamAV 0.74, UVScan 4.32.0, SpamAssassin 2.63, SpamCopURI 0.19, Razor
2.61, DCC 1.2.50, and Pyzor 0.4.0.
I run two gateway servers with the above configuration, each processing
about 100,000 messages per day.

Can you please tell me what kind of system configuration we need to run
all three of these or may just let us know your system configuration.
thanks

The newest version, 2.61 that was released on 7-6-04. With the addition of
the new "Whiplash signature scheme", it has a much better detection rate
than 2.40 did.

That's really up to you and how aggressive you want to be and whether you
have the system resources to run all three without too much delay.

I use all three, but then I am pretty aggressive about blocking spam. The
new version of razor gets the most hits for me, but all three perform well
in our environment.
