- SammyJr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Dugg for not being another lame Ubuntu article.
- EnoshKhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4We have something similar to this using amavis-new, handling 100K+ of mail a day, 80K+ of that identified spam.
- ED209, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You could try one of these VMWare appliances that are prebuilt with mostly the same software:
Email Security Virtual Appliance

Spam Vigilante

Mitea MailDefender

EagleEye Email Gateway

http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/ ) . Probably one of the best spam filtering packages out there w/ a gui. Integrates w/ clamav and ldap. Has support for multiple users w/ per-user spam settings. - Flanker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This might work for your personal mail, but can you imagine asking a corporation to run all its mail through GMail (where it's indexed) just to filter spam? Not going to happen.
- james2die4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I personally love Gmail, but if you don't want to use it, you can at least use Gmail's filters!
1) Set up a Gmail account.
2) In the Settings, go to Forwarding and POP, click the radio button for "Forward a copy of incoming mail to" [enter your email address] then choose the pull down menu, "delete Gmail's copy".
3) Save Changes
Now, basically you can forward any email to that, run it through the Gmail spam filter, it comes out the other side to your account. You can log into Gmail to check the spam folder if you feel that you have any false positives.
You won't get less spam than Dvorak (dvorak.org/blog), but this could be helpful on a user level. - xocomil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3We're using a similar setup to yours, but we use Maia Mailguard instead of amavis-new. Maia is a fork of amavis, but it stores emails in a database. This allows users to release false positives to their inbox or report false negatives as being spam.
- meltingrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Must be an old guide if it's saying Redhat 8 or 9 is recent. I've setup a mail gateway using postfix, spamassassin, mailscanner, clamav, and mailwatch before. It works really good if you're company doesn't want to spend money on an appliance and has a slightly older server laying around.
- tatroc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1We are also using Maia, everyone loves it and it saved us $20,000 in licensing costs.
- sbovisjb1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I use spamassasain.
- Bartboy919, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Aww I too want to say "I get no spam" I guess the day will never come.
- SammyJr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you're really lazy, you just get a service like Postini...
- ryanmatthew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lazy and or stupid people can use copfilter.org on ipcop.org like I do. I had to use something that the other Admins here at work could use. They don't know any linux so I needed something with a GUI that they could just click on.
- jwestbrook, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1+digg for the completeness of the howto
I personally use qmail toaster for almost every server I build - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I found the greylist concept to work very well for me. There are quite a few packages, free ones too,
that implement it. The mail server keeps a database of systems that contact it. When a sending system
tries to deliver mail the first time the mail server tells it to retry again later. If the sender does retry the
message again later it accepts it. The drawback to the system is the first email you get from a sender
is delayed up to several hours. The advantage is none of the zombie systems sending spam will ever
retry a transmission. The rootkit/virus/worm isn't sophisticated enough to implement that feature
and they probably won't. It's a better use of their time to move on to another system that will accept
their spam. It really cut my spam count down. - menelaus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know that a lot of people like to roll their own solution out there and I'm usually one of them. However, when it comes to email filtering, I don't have the time or the energy to keep tweaking my filters to raise my spam kill levels. SO, I rolled out MailFoundry and I love it! That box kicks ass and takes names. It has a nice UI for administering the thing and my users get an email with a listing of their quarantine messages that they can access/release messages directly from the email. Which is another huge time saver for me.
It's worth a look. - RonDP, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0Cool post
http://www.acadapterz.com/accessories.html - jt32470, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How about Popfile? Works in my linux , and windows side as well. Catches spam like a mofo!
Popfile+thunderbird - no worries...
http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ - mdrunk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'm a fan of ASSP myself.
- xptweakerntn, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1easy way for no spam? free way to get no spam? quick way for no spam? GMAIL!
