Yes, SA is one of my SMTP time filters as part of an Exim ACL. It is set to high enough to not have false positives, but blocks about 60% of the SPAM which make it that far (I have other simple rule filters before SA; such as Distributed Check Sum). And just a note: I do not use the result of my other filters to train DSPAM. That tends to cause problems. As for the percentage, yes DSPAM can do that, although I do not know how.

Do you reject email at SMTP time with SA and then use DSPAM on what's left? Spamprobe has a way of returning a one line score. I can: cat message| spamprobe score And I get a result with a number line 0.988234 so I can then process that number. Can DSPAM do that? I'm also having problems compiling it under Fedora Core 4 - can't find libmysqlclient - but I should go to their support forum to solve that. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/ -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
