Ralph Angenendt wrote: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix_amavisd This is actually more of an email to Ned, but replying to Ralph's email to keep the conversation flow.. point I wanted to make is that by calling it 'postfix_amavisd' you have closed the door for there really being much effort on adding an exim or a sendmail section to that. So please take that postfix bit out from the title and the url, I am sure amavisd can be setup to work with other MTA's as well. You can still leave a postfix section in the TOC, just move all postfix specific bits into there, and ask for contributors to add exim / sendmail details into their respective sections.

The rest looks okay. Thanks Ralph. I haven't been able to get any sort of a real world feel for spamassassin on my mail server as my postfix restrictions (DNSBLs) and greylisting takes out all spam before it ever reaches spamassassin. I have access to an unused spammy domain for testing (~600-700 spam per day) that's currently parked as a spamtrap for uceprotect. I used this for about a month to test the rules in the postfix restrictions Wiki guide. What should be stressed (maybe I can get that in later today) is that you shouldn't bounce mails back if you think that they are spam. There are a few configuration variables in amavisd to control that. I agree, if they *are* spam, sender addresses are almost certainly forged and it only generates backscatter. Presumably that behaviour is controlled with the following settings: # $final_virus_destiny = D_DISCARD; # $final_banned_destiny = D_BOUNCE; #change to D_DISCARD # $final_spam_destiny = D_BOUNCE; #change to D_DISCARD # $final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS; # $bad_header_quarantine_method = undef; and is triggered by $sa_kill_level_deflt, ...and this doesn't affect quarantine behaviour? I'm also wondering about $sa_dsn_cutoff_level - so would one want to set this to equal $sa_kill_level_deflt on the same basis, otherwise you're no longer bouncing the message, but *are* still sending a DSN?? ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Thank you for the work you have put into documentation over the last few weeks/months!
