Jani,
I'd seen docs in the postfix distro showing a content filter running on
one socket submitting back to a different socket that Postix is
listening, on. I guess that's a reasonable way, thanks for the
recommendation. What about the lmtp -> dspam -> lmtp -> cyrus scenario,
do you have any experience? It just seems a little cleaner to me for no
apparent reason.
Thanks,
e.

You can configure postfix to listen example 127.0.0.1:25 where it won't do
anymore any content checking, where you feed message from dspam.
Then you have example 192.168.0.1:25 what will do content filtering and
sends mail to dspam for scanning.
so: postfix -> dspam -> postfix -> cyrus

Subject: [dspam-users] Setup recommendations
I'm currently using spamassassin to tag my spam, but I've
been talking about switching to dspam for a long time and
finally have a server to set it up on for testing.
My existing set up is like this:
postfix --(via content-filter)-> spamd --(via sendmail
wrapper)-> postfix --(via lmtp)-> cyrus-imapd
What I'd like to move to would be:
postfix --(via lmtp)-> dspam --(via lmtp)-> cyrus-imapd
and later add clamav through dspam's built in support.
First of all, is that a reasonable architecture? Or would it
be better to use dspam as a content filter within postfix?
I'm currently using the sendmail wrapper to resubmit because
it submits via a mechanism that skips the content filter
associated with the port 25 listener. If I did use a
content-filter, can I get around having to resubmit via the wrapper?
Second, I've compiled dspam to run as a dspam user and
created a normal user account to run in it's own homedir. Is
that going to lead to any problems down the line?
Third, not knowing too, too much about lmtp, does dspam have
to have access to my users and domains (postfix virtuals) to
deliver via lmtp?
It's important because all that is stored in a mysql database
that postfix and cyrus-imapd access directly. I didn't think
it did, but I just wanted to cover all my bases.
Finally, I have a corpus of spam filtered by spamassassin of
about 600 email and a corpus of known good email (my inbox
that I've hand deleted any false negatives out of) of about
2000 messges. Is this a decent foundation for training?
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
e.
