It should be noted though that he's using bogofilter with some additional OCR handling (details on the pubbox.net site). Without some use of OCR, Bogofilter isn't much good on catching the latest image spams. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I would like to setup a mail server with postfix and sendmail... To fight spam, is spamassassin the best choice or should I look into something else ?

I use spamassassin and it works well with sendmail. -Derek At 05:53 PM 11/29/2006, Ian Lord wrote: Hi, I would like to setup a mail server with postfix and sendmail...

Re: Spam prevention
Sorry, this didn't make it back to the list, so I'm sending again... Hi, Howdy. I would like to setup a mail server with postfix and sendmail... One or the other, not both. I'm partial to postifx myself, as I find it much easier to set up and administer. To fight spam, is spamassassin the best choice or should I look into something else ? SpamAssassin is what I use, along with ClamAV and Amavisd-new. I'll be adding Maia Mailguard into the mix in the next iteration of the machine. You don't specify anything about your environment, so it's hard to give much more advice. However, I can make one very good recommendation: The Book of Postfix, by Hildebrandt and Koetter http://www.bookpool.com/sm/1593270011 Thanks You're welcome.

To fight spam, is spamassassin the best choice or should I look into something else ? Thanks I'm using sendmail and imap-uw. I am using greylisting (milter-greylist) and virus-filtering (clamav with clamav-milter) in sendmail, plus I have spamassassin available to the users via procmail (which is set as sendmail's LDA). This setup works very well for my users. Setting this stuff up in sendmail is also a good time to set up SSL/TLS and SMTP AUTH. :) Good luck, Josh -- Josh Tolbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition.

There are more exotic configurations available to you though. BTW, you only need either Postfix or Sendmail. I definitely vote for Postfix. -- Gerard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ian Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: To fight spam, is spamassassin the best choice or should I look into something else ? Spamassassin works. If you have Microsoft machines in your setup, you probably want clamav (antivirus) or similar as well. And finally, do look into running some sort of greylisting (possibly supplemented with a tarpit for known bad senders). The greylisting/tarpitting part is really easy to do with PF, see eg http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/en/spamd.html (part of my packet filtering for fun and profit tutorial) -- Peter N. M.
