[brlug-general] spam filters
Hi Folks, I've got a couple of domains that receive email directly. I do not currently have any spam filters configured on them. Things have stayed below the radar... till now. Does anyone know of : a) a cheap or free service I can point my MX record to and have them filter mail for me? b) a fairly easy to use (free) set of scripts to "pre-train" something like spamassassin? I really don't want to learn the nitty gritty of configuring it myself. (A or B are preferable) or c) a quick easy cheat sheet on configuring spamassassin and clamav on Ubuntu (6.06 LTS)? I really am time challenged lately, so I would prefer to point the MX record elsewhere and let someone else filter the mail for me. Thanks, Shannon ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net

I use EasyAntiSpam.com. For $30, they'll filter all the domains on your mail server. Some things still get through, but we get no false positives and very few spams through.

GoogleApps, if you don't mind google handling your email. I use them for two of my domains and filter spam through them. Google Spam filter is great except for some spam sent in Cyrillic.

The only problem I've ever had with Google hosting is that there is a lack of list functionality. They offer what they call a list, which is really an alias that delivers to a group of addresses. They don't offer a system like mailman to manage lists. They may offer that for a fee, but I've never inquired. I use them for two of my domains and filter spam through them.

Re: [brlug-general] spam filters
I am using google as an email hosting provider. True mailing list sucks with google apps. The easiest way to handle mailing lists with google apps is to create a subdomain and route(well forward) all your mailing list emails to it. It is a dirty solution but it works. If you are looking for a email pass through service then GoogleApps is not a solution.
