  Hi,
 
  how can I use SA global in qmail, with dropping of Mails that
  have more than 10 points of score?
 
  So that this mails that are definitly spam don't deliver to the
  user?
 
  That would extremly reduce our traffic and spam mails in the customer
  mailbox.
 
  Greetings
  Jan

   Oh, yes. I have to second the ClamAV (or /any/ antivirus, really).

I would recommend using an RBL list. Using a check-user patch to
qmail-smtpd. And using a combination of spamassassin and clamav.

 Compile vpopmail with  SPAM_THRESHOLD=10 and any message scored at 10.0 or
 above will not be delivered.

as all others said SA and Clamd.

we use Clamd tapped into qmail-scanner w/virus updates as notifications are
sent.

we process SA though dot-qmail+maildrop with user-preferences as well as
only processing SA for *real* users.  the difficuly we've seen is there is
so much spam to non-existant accounts we needed to quit wasting SA
processing time.  in addition, we use a little SA cluster: 8 boxes
processing SA, with NFS'd bayesDB and a custom weighted random rotator
script.

  Can you confirm this? I noticed that today.

 Steve Fulton patched vdelivermail.c to get around this problem.  Fixing
 autorespond is probably a better solution.


I've just ran into this issue about a week ago, Jeremy has a patch to
force/fix the autorespond exit codes to (0) regardless.  Apparently,
autorespond exits(99) if you've excedded the time/num max.
