I am looking to install and configure spamassassin on my debian sarge server with about 15 users. We have been getting lots of spam lately and spambayes is not cutting it. We need to use the rbl_check feature with spambayes to reduce the spams getting to our inbox.
I have a few questions: 1. From reading the docs I think using spamd and spamc (not spamassassin) would be the best. Is that what people in this group would recommend? Any reasons why not? 2. From the looks of it, it seems that I have to start the spamassassin service and the spamd service? Is this correct? Whats the difference between them? This was not clear from the documentation. 3. I did not clear explaination on how exactly the rbl_checks work. Can I specify which rbl to use and not use? I also could not find any information on which connections to allow on the firewall to allow these checks. Our server is not allowed to make any outgoing connections, we limit ougoing connections to certain ip/ports. 4. Does anybody know of a howto which involves debian, postfix, maildrop, spamassassin and courier? Thanks, Dhaval
