I've been using it since January, and have almost zero SPAM delivered to my inbox now. I think in all that time it has only had one false positive (my mom sending email as HTML, from word.)

I'd highly recommend MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info) combined with SpamAssassin (http://www.spamassassin.org) and ClamAv (http://www.clamav.net/). The great thing about MailScanner is that it doesn't use milters, so you don't have to wait for a program to fire up and risk sending back temporary failure error codes. As long as your disks can keep up and you don't run out of queue space, it doesn't matter how long MailScanner takes to process messages. It'll also process messages in blocks, which makes things a lot more efficient if you're processing large amounts of mail. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgpf9n4PBhuk2.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Anti-Spam app for sendmail
Yes Mailscanner is good but you may have to jump through hoops to get it to work with BSD . No matter what OS you will still need to install a bunch of perl modules for mailscanner spamassasin. If thats ok with you then they are pretty good. First your going to need a licensed version of sometype of antivirus application you can always get freeB's but they will eventually run out. some of the AV for BSD are panda, kaspersky,. macfee, and Sophos fprot . Both Fprot Sophos have evaluation versions both are easy to install and use. Your next choice is what mailscanner application to use. I have setup mailscanner with the fprot sweep succesfully on 4.8 could not get it to work on 5.0 . I did not even try spamassasin because of all the cpan mods needed. I am using mailmonitor sophos sweep works great I can block files or file extentions types, block subject content, quarantine infected attachments, attempt to clean them. You can go to sophos.com and fill out evalutaions for both mailmonitor sweep . One thing mailmonitor needs to be run in linux compatibility mode and you need to install the linux versions of sweep mailmonitor . They actually make software packages for BSD. unfourtunatly mailmonitor is targeted to linux ,solaris Windoz . PS I had rambled on about sophos mailmonitor in another bsd question here is the link and here is a response from some guy in Germany or something . I guess he is using some other mailscanning software check it out. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg65212.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg65240.html I wonder who should ever need mailmonitor in FreeBSD Here we are running Sophos on several FBSD machines and we use amavis to make it scan and filter our mails. That works perfectly and so I see no need for mailmonitor at all. - Original Message - From: Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FreeBSD Questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 11:35 AM Subject: Anti-Spam app for sendmail Any comments on a good anti-spam app that works with sendmail for a mail server? -- Best regards, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
