Hey i have been toying with antivirus and spam filtering with postfix, and have made some packages for mandrake, think this would make things much easier to setup and make Mandrake more "Enterprise ready", amavis-new scales quite well(100000+ msg/day), and is running at several large companies.
you can urpmi it at (for 9.1): http://tlb.rapanden.dk/RPMS/amavis-new/ (look at the howto) I have it running with SpamAssassin and clamav and it takes 99.9% off all the vira i get, and about 98% of the spam. With the rpm's provide it should work mostly out of the box, you just need to tweak the config file for it and make postfix aware the mail should go throw it. Think this should be in standard mandrake, the need for spam/virus control is not getting smaller, even if my evolution or mutt don't get infected by the newest "A WinXP patch" or "Worm Klez.E immunity", it's nice not to have them clutter ones mailbox. Stuff like clamav and all the dependences of amavis-new belong in main, don't think i know a user who would not like to get less spam. One way to reduce this is also with RBL's, it's very easy to set up, but when there is no working example in the config most people don't add it. The howto provides a working example, would be nice if that was included too. amavis-new: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ Regards Troels Liebe Bentsen
