[dspam-users] New DSPAM user

[Lisa Casey]

Hi,

I am setting up a new mail server to take the place of an existing one. My 
old server is a Sendmail server which uses Mimedefang/spamassassin for spam 
filtering and renattach as a method of filtering out virus-containing 
attachments.

The server I'm setting up is FreeBSD, runs Sendmail and I'm going to install 
DSPAM in place of mimedefang/spamassassin as I've heard good things about 
DSPAM. I've read the DSPAM readme online and have a couple of questions.

1. At one point in the readme it says that the hash driver is the default 
storage driver then later in the readme it claims the default driver is 
sqlite_drv which uses SQLite. Which is correct? Since I have never 
administered any sort of database I think I'ld be better off staying away 
from anything that requires  MySQL, etc. for now.

2. My mail server has about 500 - 600 users. Should I run DSPAM in daemon 
mode?

If I want to later install something like Amavis for virus scanning can I 
integrate that into  a pre-existing DSPAM installation or do I need to 
install both of these (DSPAM and Amavis) at the same time?

Thanks,

Lisa Casey
