• Populate Allow List From Contacts

    By John Q Parker 2 decades ago

    I have written an agent to add all email addresses in users contacts db to the Allow list. This seems necessary as I get many false positives and many complaints of missing emails.



    I am wondering how this will affect performance as I roll it out to a wider group? What if there were 1000 Allow docs? 10,000?

      The speed would depend on how fast the server is, but I have no reference to go by, so I can't say for sure.



      A static rule takes up just over 6Kb, so 10,000 rules would be around 60Mb.



      Maybe you could add unique domains rather than the whole address; that would probably be faster, assuming you have multiple email addresses from the same domains.

        Hi,

        from version 1.5 mamory usage of rules was optimized.

        You can have 40.000 and more rules without problems.
