Stopping Spam - update

Well further to my report last week, I now have razor-check (vipul's razor) in my mail system, and it has shunted at least 11 spam's into a special folder since 22 May. I'm working on getting spam assassin in there too (only so many hours in the day). Also of course a lot of messages get

Re: stopping spam

now i'd have to say I don't know the answer to that. Porably by getting rid of exchange server?? *brain-throb* Okay - My system here is the firewall portforwards connections on port 25 to a linux box running exim. The linux box then sends the mail to the exchange server via smtp.

Re: stopping spam

Yep - thats one thing I'd love to do. But it is apparently impossible to save all the stored crap that all the user accounts have built up. The exchange server is a PIII 450 with 300something Mb ram and a 6 Gb IDE drive, so it would make a fine linux box too. On Thu, 2002-05-23 at 23:09, Nick

stopping spam

I just wanted to report that I am having a lot of fun and success implementing vipul's razor and spam assassin on my mailserver. I'll run some more tests tonight and have a full report for the list at some stage. Would anyone be interested in a talk on this at a meeting?? Next step is virus

Re: stopping spam

I've heard of it, but never used it. Can you give the list the skinny on how it interacts with the flow of mail? Does spamassassin sit before or after your MTA? or does it bolt on similar to a squid redirector? I'm specifically asking about SMTP received mail rather than pop/imap/fetchmail.

Re: stopping spam

I've been running it for a while, only had 1 or 2 false positives, a number of spam's that have escaped detection (but not that many). Last month spamassassin + razor trapped over 2,000 spams for me. It is definately worth spending the time setting up. :D On Thu, 2002-05-23 at 11:56, Nick
