[clamav-users] Services Difference & Memory Utilization

[Eric Tykwinski]

Honestly, I wouldn’t buy a VPS, but I did test out TATA’s CloudStack when I was running CloudStack in a lab, and didn’t have any issues.
Given I was just warming up some IPs for testing, and didn’t move anything real over there.  I doubt they are even using it still, but that’s my experience on VPS.

IMHO at least get a /29 on IPv4 so that the provider can SWIP your IP Space, and make sure they do it.
Run all the BCOPs, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and even MTA-STS since it’s relatively easy, if possible add DANE and TLSA records.

First though, look at the reputation of every provider.  Talos is one place, MailOps is another: https://www.mailop.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop <https://www.mailop.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop>
Check out M3AAWG: https://www.m3aawg.org/ <https://www.m3aawg.org/>, though a lot of the information is going to be towards bulk senders.

Finally define your acceptable risk, so I’ve got dedicated servers on OVH with all BCOPs except for Google’s ARC, never did figure that out on milters,
but it’s RBL’d on a few providers which is fine since I mainly use it for incoming and down notifications on monitoring, so I’ve got myself whitelisted.
