I use SpamAssassin with a score of 11. Works fine for me. I've written some software which connects to (ahem!) Postfix which keeps updated stats on spammer and non-spammer IP's (as defined by SpamAssassin via spamd) -- every mail that passes thru my system gets logged in MySQL (spam or non-spam). So I can semi-intelligently "block" IP's which are sending lots of spam (e.g. if a given IP sends me emails which are >90% "spam" as defined by SA, I add 'em to my /etc/postfix/access to deny 'em -- no point in letting 'em waste bandwidth). So I guess that's one of the reasons I love Postfix. I can actually *add* functionality, even if I'm no rocket scientist. (and yes, a forward to some Perl script can do everything I've done, but when you're processing 500 messages/sec Perl just doesn't cut it). --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
