Hello list! Due to the increase of spam/phishing emails received by my office, I decided to explore the idea of implementing a spamfiltering 'frontend' in front of my email server.
Here's how I plan to do it: fetchmail (G) --> postfix (G) --> amavisd+spamassassin+database (G) --> postfix (G) --> current email back-end (WS) --> clients (W) (G) = the single Gentoo server working as mailfilter (WS) = mail server on Windows Server (W) = various Windows clients (XP and 7) I need fetchmail because currently we still use a hosting company, at least until August when we host everything on our own. Then, we'll drop fetchmail and expose postfix for the world to deliver the mails to. I also want to use amavisd's 'pen pal feature', so the outgoing emails will take this route: clients --> mail back-end --> postfix --> amavisd --> postfix --> ISP mail-relay server Now, did I plan right? Can anyone poke any holes in my plan before I tie a 'ganbatte!' headband and study hard to implement the system successfully or die trying?
