I have been in the process of setting up a new server for myself which includes mail services, and as I was installing packages, I went to install SpamAssassin and noticed just how many package dependencies it has (mostly in Perl - but then some of those have deps as well, etc...). It's a rather disgusting list tbh - especially since I like my servers to be clean and simple.
Anyways, so I thought it would be nice to look in to removing my SA requirement and replace it with something else. I haven't really been "in the loop" with the latest anti-spam projects available, but I looked at dspam briefly and it seemed like a potential candidate since it's a simple self contained package. I'm sure the use of dspam has been discussed many times on list though - and this isn't (yet) a discussion specifically about using dspam, but rather a broader question... Figuring that I *must* keep anti-spam checking available at SMTP time via ACLs (like the spamd integration offers in Exim currently), what good anti-spam suites are there that I could replace SA with? I realize that this would likely require patch(es) to Exim so that new ACL commands are made available, but in my searching I haven't been able to really find much (my searches return a mess of various info). Is there anything really available? As for requirements, right now I just want ACL compatibility and equal or greater anti-spam detection to that of SA. Auto-learning is a bonus, and my setup is entirely virtual, so if there's any learning features that can/must be used (as is the case with dspam) it must support virtual setups with SQL. Thanks in advance, Eli. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
