Spamassassin is available as a port, as are a number of other useful bits such as amavisd, clamav and numerous others. The Postfix web at http://www.postfix.org has an extensive documentation collection (see eg the UCE/Virus part of http://www.postfix.org/docs.html) to get you started. Once you have the content filtering up, you may want to look into easing the load a bit by introducing greylisting via PF (packet filter) plugin spamd, which can just as easily run on a separate machine such as your gateway. There are a few in-MTA options too, of course. -- Peter N. M.

You can give it to postfix - just setup some dnsbl zones for it. Good place to start is tqmcube.com, openrbl.org, spamhaus.org and sorbs.net. You can also setup mail/spamd (not the one from spamasassin) as a blackhole for servers that are misbehaving or not following a SMTP protocol. It can be easily integrated into firewall. -- Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How to do Spam Control in FreeBSD
There is a amavisd-new port that allows you to install spamassassin. It also has a ClamAV (anti-virus) plugin. This should be all you need. The greater level of control lies in the configuration of the spamassassin plugins. dhanesh wrote: Hi Everbody I have a freebsd-6.0 server with postfix and mailman running on this machine , but I havn't configured spamassasin ,amavisd etc in this box. so I am suffering from spams daily ..

Re: How to do Spam Control in FreeBSD
Hi Dhanesh, ( Genaral question : Is there any port for spamassasin,amavisd in FreeBSD) Starting from the end but that is the easy part, yes there are. I have a freebsd-6.0 server with postfix and mailman running on this machine , (Side remark: You may consider upgrading to 6.2) but I havn't configured spamassasin ,amavisd etc in this box. so I am suffering from spams daily .. To answer both your personnal email and the one to the list, I am not using postfix but sendmail. I am using amavis thourgh amavis-milter, that is a *very* old version of amavis. And I am using SpamAssassin through procmail. The reason I separated both of them is partly historical (at the timeI started with them there was no amavisd-new that could call to SA) and partly philosophical (even if it means expending the atttachments 2 times; on one hand anti-virus is the same configuration for every users, it is a matter of security policy and no user is allowed to change that, so it is checked at transport; spam filtering on the other hand is really a matter of personnal choices, some may have their own rules, etc. so a message could be treated differently for each specific user, so it is checked at delivery).
