For our application needs, JAMES is an indispensable tool. We depend on mailets for a number of functions. But, as an MTA we are quite exposed when it comes to stopping viruses, worms and spam. Especially spam.
Of course, we use matchers to stop the obvious. And we've enable the RBL feature -- but that is an old technique to identifying bad sending domains and today's spammers and the auto-infectors are more sophisticated now. Besides, RBLs are unreliable and in some cases dead wrong.
Accordingly, I reversed an idea in the WIKI to use James as the proxy MTA for internal MTAs and now use JAMES behind Postfix which is augmented with modern spam/virus/worm defenses.
What do those of you using JAMES in a mail hosting role do to stop the bad guys?

Hi there, I have afew qestions and I hope I'm not asking to many questions that I should had RTFM to find :-)
anyway regarding antivirus, I read in the archives that I could use the ClamAntivirus to filter my mail using an antivirus mailet that I could download at www.mailet.org, however reading somemore suggest that mailet.org is not up and running, and surfing to mailet.org proves it..
I also read in the archive that someone named Josh wasgoing to do amailet based around the clamAntivirus, but the last mesage I saw about that was from August..
so my questions are the following..
are there any antivirus mailets out there? if so where are they located.
can anyone of them be used with clamAntivirus?
well that's it for now..
