I was using postfix and dovecot on a linode until a few weeks ago. I just gave up and moved into google apps for domains at the end of august.
My email address has been constant for over a decade, and basically I was getting up to 1 spam message per second to the box - http://serenity.dague.org/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi. Various techniques for purging them work to different degrees, I still ended up with about 40 spam messages a day getting through to my inbox, though more importantly, I had a couple messages a day get flagged incorrectly as spam. The large service provider algorithms are much better at detection in my experience, and spamassassin really isn't seeing community love at this point, sadly. -Sean On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 6:03 PM, Alan Snyder <[email protected]> wrote: > It's been a while since I've set up a postfix install with an imap client > from scratch.
