I would like to use SpamAssassin during the SMTP dialog, to discard everything with a high spam rating. I know some people have been thinking of implementing this. Does someone have a working courier(perl)filter to do it?



Well, I'm not sure it's what you had in mind... but I've been running Amavis as a global filter for a while now. In my case, I prefer to just have it do virus scanning... but if you wanted spam rejected similarly, it can easily accomplish that.


If someone had a more direct integration of spamc/spamd as a filter, then it might be a lot more efficient...


We all would love to block spam at the earliest stage, but at least here in Good ol' Germany you are half way in Jail if you do so.
Mail & letters are PERSONAL and you may not intrude. So we filter SPAM and put it into a seperate folder which POP3 users don't get. Every user is still able to log in via webmail and check his SPAM folder if she/ he misses something.


How do you (all) do it?


Oh, note that I said that actually only use the global filter for viruses... meaning that I only reject messages during submit IF they contain a virus. For spam, I instead call spamc/spamd from within Maildrop (globally), and put suspected SPAM into a folder that users can review normally. I also set expiration so that if they don't review them after a while, they are cleaned up. In my opinion, spam filters aren't quite exact enough to be sure that always what gets labeled is in fact spam -- or that what is spam for one person isn't perfectly acceptable for someone else. So I take a more cautious approach to that type of filtering.

Marvellous! That's our way too. We use Dr.Web as a virus scanner and Spamassassin & Affiliates (Razor & DCC) as SPAM Filter.
Any better ideas around ?
