My experience has been that spamdyke is the best single tool for
reducing spam. That's not entirely a fair statement, given that spamdyke
consists of various anti-spam measures (rbls, greylisting, rDNS, etc.).
spamdyke is comprehensive. The best (imho) thing about spamdyke is that
it rejects emails before they're even transmitted, which lessens the
load on the server substantially since the messages are never scanned by
clamav and spamassassin. The only (and extremely few) false positives
I've seen are cases where the sending server does not have rDNS
configured correctly. These cases are trivial to whitelist.
I highly recommend giving spamdyke a try. Note, it will be a stock
feature in the next major QMT release.

I have recently install QmailToaster-Plus to my system and have been
running some of the applications.
What are some experiences users have had with qtp-extraclam? I ran it
the otherday and it seems to have radically reduced the number of emails
I get in my spam folder. Has anyone else seen this response?
qtp-sa-update did not seem to work correctly. Maybe I am wrong since I
installed qtp-extraclam not to far before. I installed it but I do not
have and have never had the rules_du_jour that the beginning of the
scrip tries to remove. I am assuming that it is doing something. Is
what I see the norm?
After running both of the above mentioned scripts, I see a significan
smaller number of overall emails in my spam folder (I am assuming that
is the qtp-extraclam since the emails are being tossed and not being put
into the spam folder). I was scared initially because of such a drop in
emails being delivered, but I have not heard anything from my customers
or from people that I know indicating that mail is not being delivered
to mailboxes on my machine.
I really need to take a look at what these scripts are doing so that I
am more comfortable with the system. I have had so many problems in the
past with false positives and/or lack of filtering that I am very
paranoid about something working. I still have not setup spamdyke or
rbls. Are most users using the default setup of the server or are users
using tools available like qtp (all the tools it includes), razor,
pyzor, dcc, etc?
