Thanks Ken,

Yes, also have Spamassassin. Problem is the other day a lot of spam where
getting through and queued messages reach as high as 20K on our server.
Normally, queued messages on our server averages 100 and below. We also do
have the auto-update of rules in spamassassin, getting updates every other
day from rulesemporium.com. Please see attached local.cf config on our
server.

Thanks again,

Hi Josel,

How much is "a lot"?
Because imho, spam these days are becoming smarter and smarter.
In my simple spamassassin setup which is just using auto-update sare
rules, approximately 15K to 20K of spam mails are already being dropped
on a monthly basis, although imho it's already a decent number, but
still a lot of spam are getting through (using the animated gif
technique).

My point here is, you have to first monitor your anti-spam solution to
have an idea on the ratio of it's effectiveness. And also, you are using
postix's native anti-UCE technique, are you also using 3rd party
solution like spamassassin or dspam?



hth,

Kenneth
