I'd like to ask a related question: what about running a filer on the mail server?
In the mail server I've set up, the only spam filter I put is denying by connection address from black lists. This is because it requires relatively little processing, and is done before the message hits the queue (actually: before the message data is entered). Currently I have in postfix's main.cf: smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks reject_maps_rbl # (There are other restrictions in smtpd_recipient_restrictions and # smtpd_sender_restrictions) maps_rbl_domains = relays.ordb.org sbl.spamhaus.org dialups.relays.OsiruSoft.com bl.spamcop.net Stats from current (unfinished) week: relays.orbd: 14 rejects spamhous: 386 rejects dialups.OsiruSoft: 1 reject spamcop: 136 rejects Spamcop is considered too agressive, so I placed it last. It seems that at least most of the rejected mails are indeed spams. But this is far from an effective mail filter. I was wondering about the possibility of installing SpamAssasin or something similar on the mail server. amavis is currently installed there, and I know it is possible to fit SpamAssisin into it. So the question of errorless filterring arrises: should I actively filter? or should I just tag messages? Anybody has similar settings? -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
