hi Pierre

I'm the author of 

https://dmatthews.org/email_server/perfect_email.html

and also

https://dmatthews.org/email_server/james.html

That second article is way out of date as I don't use James in production, but 
may be helpful still. I've recently moved away from spamassassin despite what I 
say in that first article, freeing up a lot of RAM in the process and it's made 
hardly any difference to the amount of spam, which is close to nil anyway.

I'd suggest consider outsourcing spam filtering to Spamhaus, creating a free 
account with them first. In that first article, which I may revise again soon, 
I suggest diverting anything they identify into a spam box, but I may go back 
to just dropping it.

I'm a bit surprised that you get a lot of spam these days to be honest as I 
view it (in some ways) as a problem solved  by the online blocklists. Sure 
there are still people sending out voluminous amounts of spam - there's one guy 
who tries to relay it through my machine on a steady basis. 

But how much of it finds it's way to an inbox? My take is that the idiots who 
want this crap read are being ripped off by the commercial spammers who know 
very well there's hardly such thing as an open relay these days and that all 
the ip addresses they've hacked are on blocklists very quickly.
