DaZZa I highly recommend to use
* sendmail * milter-greylist http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz/#milter-greylist * clamav * mimedefang (this runs spamassassin as well) this runs in the envelope AND data part. this is better as most of the time the mail doesnt need to come down the pipe if spamassassin AND/OR mimedefang decided its crap Considering the amount of mailing lists I am on with the email address I get only 2 or 3 spams a day and I can live with that.
