I highly recommend ASSP. It's by far the best spam filter I've ever used 
and my clients are constantly raving about it's effectiveness. It's also 
extremely easy to configure and maintain. Check it out at 
http://assp.sourceforge.net/ .

I'd like to recommend to use SpamAssassin(mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin).
That's enough. FYI, here is my local.cf:

Maia Mailguard. It's a fork (sorta) of amavisd-new, and integrates
SpamAssassin and ClamAV.

It can be set to quarantine emails that are suspected to be spam, and
also those with attachments that you consider to be suspicious, and
presents end-users with reminder emails and a good web interface for
managing their emails.

It Rocks.

Seconded (or thirded :).

policyd-weight is much smaller than amavisd-new or SpamAssassin (it  
tends to run a couple of ~7 MB RSIZE processes, rather than a bunch  
of 45 - 80MB RSIZE), and it's caching of RBL/DNSBL lookups means it  
can handle and offload a bunch of queries that the others would do.

RE: best spam filter port(s) for postfix?

2007-10-01 Thread Terry Sposato
I am using postfix+amavis (doing spamassassin)+postgrey and I rarely get any
spam come through.
I run a fairly light weight email server only doing a coulple of thousand
emails a day.
Mailgraph is a great port to integrate as well as it graphs how many emails
have been blocked due to spam/virus etc.

Cheers,

Terry

I used Mailscanner at one time, but it is not recommended for use with Postfix 
because mail can be lost.  It never happened to me, but it has happened to

I've been using bogofilter for some years now, and it works very well
once you've trained it properly. I'm calling it from procmail just
before the mail is delivered, but that's because my desktop has just a
single local user. Bogofilter comes with a 'integrating-with-postfix'
document that shows you how to call it from postfix directly.

I call Bogofilter from Procmail and I did not know it could be called directly 
from Postfix.  I use Bogofilter and Spamassassin and very little spam gets
