Anyone with complaints about ASSP spam solution in place on 8.9.24.84 please post them here. Also be carefull about setting Greylisting to "on". Greylisting works under the assumption that all spammers run non-compliant servers and will not resend in 5 minutes, which IS 95% true, therefore 95% of spam is erased immediately. But it also assumes non spamming servers ARE rfc compliant which isn't true and those email will not be retried by the sending server.
Other than that the other settings usually don't produce false positives, and anyone YOU mail is automatically cleared for sending, no matter what ASSP scores the email. Or they can be added manually by you.
It will probably go in on all servers barring any fatal flaws. We are slightly behind the curve on implementing it, and have left other cpanel hosts a 3-4 month head start to work out the problems.
This is the ASSP forum, but heavily weighted to installer questions.
These are responses from happy users
And this is the tag line from the developer. Please feel free to debunk any part of it so we can pass it on to the developer while they're still gung-ho on fixing it. It is definitely not beta software, and is basicly a compilation of several individual packages that are mature, but porting it to cpanel is relatively new.
