Hi Sam,
We just moved over to using James Mail Server. We were using a commercial brand that provided very good spam protection. I can see the same features in the config.xml file for James but I haven't found good documentation/examples on how to turn them on.
You don't say what kind of spam protection you want. There are at least two ways to provide server side spam protection on James. One method is to incorporate spamAssassin into James and the other is to turn on the Bayesian analysis feature.
I can only vouch for the latter of these two. You can find more info about the Bayesian analysis filter on the James wiki [1].
I'm also confused if a backend database is needed to enable Spam Filtering. Could someone point me to a document that discusses anti-spam measures in James and how to set them up
You are correct that a database is required to support the Bayesian analysis filter. Incidentally, if you use MySQL be aware that the filter requires InnoDB tables which in turn means you can't use the MySQL backup command to back them up... you'll have to use mysqldump instead.
Hope that helps. Regards, David Legg [1] http://wiki.apache.org/james/Bayesian_Analysis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
