well, There is a new version of amavis-new coming out in the next week.. Generally, amavis-new is an antivirus interface for MTA's, with spamassasin support..
however, the new version coming out makes the antivirus or spamassasin optional.. in other words, you can use it just as a spam filter for postfix (using content filter)... so I'd get an old box, put postfix and amavis-new/spamassasin on it.. then stick it in the middle of your existing system to tag spam as such... it should work seamlessly.. wait for a week, and do a search for amavis-new. I have been using older versions for antivir scanning for ages, it has stopped thousands of copies of klez and bugbear in its time... :-) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:expert-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Ken Hawkins Sent: Friday, 1 November 2002 1:51 AM To: mandrake expert Subject: [expert] Spamassassin Sorry if this is a repeat posting; suffering mail hiccups. Im Looking for some help/advice... New project put on my desk this morning.... Management want spam controlled better than current method, co-worker (sys admin) doesn't want to change over mail system wholesale. Current setup In: INTERNET--->Webshield(Antivirus on W2K)--->OpenVMS(VAX POP system)--->User Out: INTERNET<-----OpenVMS(SMTP)<-----------Webshield(Antivirus on W2K)<---User The request is to place SpamAssassin somewhere in the middle, before or after the W2K server. I have CD's for MDK 7.2, 8.2, and 9.0. The available box is a 1st generation pentium. The box would be dedicated to the 1 program. Management is NOT prepared to move off the VAX/OpenVMS email server. I am looking for suggestion/ideas on setup. I am NOT a guru, and couldn't program my way out of a wet paper bag 8^], but I do know my way around the file system, and can even get by at CLI with no mouse.... Thanks in advance Ken
