We are now moving a step forward towards clusterwide usage of dspam.
For this we hired Psoft to develop custom package for us.
It has been completed and installed now.
Resellers will notice some extra CNAME in their DNS manager(E-Manager -> DNS Manager -> click Edit icon).
They will be used for your client MX records, so ensure not to delete them.

They look like:
gw-mail5.servicedomain.com 86400 IN CNAME gw-mail5.m****here.biz

Similiarily your client MX will look like:
clientdomain.com 86400 IN MX gw-mail5.servicedomain.com

Tomorrow (January 10,2007) at approx 1:00 AM EST we will start migrating DNS MX records of all domains to use these custom DNS MX records.
This is just a notification and you will not see any downtime at all because currently these custom DNS records point to same mailserver as before.
People maintaining external MX will not be affected either.
They are being requsted to change to new MX as visible in control panel tomorrow.

We will move these IPs one by one to our new anti-spam gateways in coming days that already have intelligent maps to deliver your mails correctly.

Please note, users may experience some slowness in control panel during this rebuild. The process is expected to take 6+ hours.
 
In a slight change to the process, mail-relay is being disabled first and the task of MX recreation will follow.
 
Mail-relay work is going much slower than expected. It seems to need another 3-4 hours. Sorry for the delay here.
 
The process stopped twice due to some error after getting half done.
Psoft has rebuild some utils for us to resume this process correctly.
For this control panel has been stopped to install them.
