I'm working on my first install of amavis on a site where spam is a real issue. I've read all I can I tried to tweak things a bit at a time to get them working but I'm still not seeing the results that I would like. I know others that report great success with amavis and I would like to get to that same place :)
Before I go any further, my amavis.conf can be found here: http://pastebin.ca/32994 If there is anything that is obvious to seasoned amavis users, please share. I must admit that the Perl config is a little daunting to a non-Perl user :) I *am* learning Perl in my spare time (you know how that can be). The setup looks like this: Internet <---> Postfix, Amavis, ClamAV <---> MS Exchange The AV part works great. The spam, not so well. I do block lots of spam but just about as much makes it by. I don't know what other information I should include (in addition to my config) to shed light on my problem but I can provide any other details needed. Anyway, this is basically how things have gone: 1) Install Amavis and ClamAV and get them working with Postfix. 2) Adjust config to what I think fits my needs. 3) Collect spam from users. 4) Feed spam and ham to sa-learn (about 5000 or so at first). 5) Notice AWL is getting things wrong to often. Blasted those so it try again. 6) Keep feeding spam (via a Perl script that talks IMAP to Exchange) as it comes in to sa-learn. 7) Keep tweaking - keep feeding. 8) Repeat steps 6 and 7 for a month or two. 8) Turn to you all for help. Anything would be helpful. -- Gabriel Gunderson http://gundy.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
