[ilugd] SpamAssassin options -- Razor, Pyzor, DCC, ???
Hi, Was wondering what extra modules can I include in SpamAssassin to better the chances of trapping spam. The choices include: - Vipul's Razor - Pyzor - DCC - Any other tools - Commercial blacklists - Any other commercial service Of course, the simplest would be to just enable all the tools, but I don't really want to put that extra load on my box and the network unless I know that it's going to pay off. Similarly, I'm willing to go in for a commercial service, but need feedback on which ones are effective. Experiences and suggestions solicited.

Kenneth what percentage of spam are you trapping so far? Currently trapping about 80-90% (don't have precise statistics, but that's what it appears to be). Would like to bump it up to at least 95% if at all possible.

My understanding is that local.cf is given so that the user can customize it to his requirements. The Package Manager shouldn't worry about it. Anyway, there's no harm even if it has been created. Just look at the changes in between local.cf and local.cf.rpmnew and add it to local.cf if you like it. As far as more stuff in local.cf is concerned, most of the rules are in spamassassin's own rules database which keeps getting upgraded to fight the smart spammers (they also understand spamassassin). So not necessarily is it required to make your local.cf look huge. And as Karanbir mentioned, you should instead be using the latest version of software, at least for a spam solution. required_hits 5 report_safe 0 rewrite_header Subject [SPAM] Where to go now how to check ?

No. We're here to help and discuss, not spoonfeed. Hi, On a different note: Whats a fetchmail server? Ive seen fetchmail being used to *fetch* mail from a pop3 server and re-inject it into another MTA's queue (Qmail/Postfix/SendMail). Upon googling What is a fetchmail server, I get this as the first entry: Fetchmail ... is a utility found on many Unix-like systems used to retrieve e-mail from a remote POP mail server ... So is the OP talking about *this* fetchmail at all? catch ya later (Ive gotta UnWire Life!!!) shiv - Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
