I would like to know how fast my server is running, and what fast could be running. BR, Matías.

I read about MIMEDefand a couple of months ago, but for some reason I chose not to use it. I'm going to have a look on it again. Thanks for the info :) BR, Matías.

Currently running postfix/amavisd-new/clam/f-prot/spamassassin - roughly 33% faster than sendmail/Mimedefang/clam/f-prot/spamassassin, on the exact same hardware.

You can configure many different actions (reject, discard, quarantine, label) on just about any criteria you want. It's also *very* customizable -- if you can write it in Perl, you can run it through MIMEDefang! For instance: AFAIK, there's no way for clamav-milter to handle some of the more obscure cases from testvirus.org. (I've been skimming a thread over on clamav-users.) There are a few testcases that don't actually include the EICAR string, but use tricky filenames like CLSIDs. Similarly, ClamAV won't detect viruses split up using message/partial (a gaping security hole with its own RFC), but MD blocks that type of message by default. The configurability is nice, too. I have it set to discard known mass-mailing viruses (as detected by Clam), but quarantine/reject others in the unlikely event something has latched onto a legit message. Spam with an extremely high score is rejected and quarantined, but spam with a lower score is simply labeled. Various tests check for common forgeries before mail even gets to Clam or SA. The company that maintains it also sells a commercial product, Can-It, which combines MIMEDefang with some additional features and an administration interface. I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard good things about it. MIMEDefang: http://www.mimedefang.org/ Can-It: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/ -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications

Hello, I'm running SA with sendmail using milter-spamc to connect them. It's working ok, but I would like to know about your experiences using SA and milter, and which one you think is the best to use. I have not seeing many people trough the list using milter-spamc, and I like to hear of some one :) BR, Matías.
