So I've got Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 which runs cyrus, postfix, spam assassin, clamav, and a goofy GUI.

In order to keep the GUI running, it's inadvisable to recompile the binaries used for the mail system. I don't particularly like the way you train and manage spam with spamassassin under OSX, so I'm very interested in getting DSPAM working here.

I've previously had great success using DSPAM with exim and dovecot or cyrus on linux. However, I'd prefer to keep as much stock as possible under OSX Server, so that means no exim. Additionally, I've seen instructions from Richard5.net that use PCRE with postfix, however it looks like PCRE isn't compiled into the postfix for OSX Server. At least not in the same fashion that Richard5 does it.

I've seen probably 5 or 6 recipes for getting dspam on cyrus and postfix, but for whatever reason I can't seem to get things going right on this machine. There used to be an RTF floating around on how to get dspam on OSX Server, but that's evidently disappeared.

What I'm looking for is a solution with minimal impact to the current installation. I figure LMTP is best, due to the reduced dependency on clients and permissions, but whatever works in the easiest fashion is probably best.

If possible I'd like to retain the ability to forward spam and ham to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or at the very least have a working webgui ... I've seen solutions that maintain IMAP folders, but I think this is going a little out of the way at this time.

Would any of you happen to have a recipe for getting dspam up on OS X Server without having to recompile the standard mail system binaries?

If not OS X "Server", how about a full recipe with postfix and cyrus on OS X without using PCRE?

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

Greg
