New VPS successful
- Friday February 9th, 2007
I mentioned in a previous post that I had purchased a VPS to use as a backup MX and a data store for some bits and pieces. The backup has proven so effective that I cancelled my MailHop Outbound and MailHop Backup MX services. Everything worked out of the box (as it were), installed, configured, compiled correctly - I had forgotten how remarkably easy it was to configure Postfix as a backup MX. I have refrained from putting too much spam filtering onto the backup - leaving that on my more powerful and considerably faster primary MX. I might revisit that later but at the moment some basic recipient filtering seems to be catching a lot of the spam that has arrives via that MX (which being in the US and the primary is in Australia seems to respond slightly faster to some MTAs irrelevant of the priority - another thing to look at).
