Tony Earnshaw suggested to me yesterday that integrating dspam into a different stage of the delivery process was the way to go, and I dismissed it at first thinking i'd like to stick with the default deployment of dspam, but the more i think about it, it looks to be the path of least resistence. Thanks Tony.
Well, I use Postfix, you use Courier MTA. Postfix can be configured to run as many smtpd listeners one wants, running on different ports, all doing different things. This still constitutes one smtpd instance and the fact that I can do it at all is one of the (many) reasons I moved away from Exim to Postfix in the first place.
The ingress smtpd listener (ports 25, 465 and 587) has already checked for valid users (yes, all in LDAP), so there's no point in dspam doing it again.
On my sites I have one smtpd listener that hands off already AV-scanned mail that hands messages on to a dspam daemon, which hands off to the last smtpd listener. From there the message is passed to maildrop for header filtering/modification and delivery.
dspam daemon with a MySQL backend works well. Best, --Tonni -- Tony Earnshaw Email: tonni at hetnet dot nl
