Graylisting does work. We have been using SQLGrey

Wow, I knew this was coming at some point. I just figured it was too

My suggestion would be to use graylisting, force them to send that 1MB

never even have to deal with it. You could also use the botnet plug-in
I use ClamAV and SA too. My understanding is that you do not want to
continue processing an email if it is already seen as a virus(saves
processing time by the spam server). Keep in mind that some users also have
their AV on another box. I also use the short circuit plugin and a script

What about the ShortCircuiting Ruleset? Not sure if it would completely
stop emails from getting chewed on.
The other option would be not sending them to SA. I don't know what MTA
your using, but I know you can setup another postfix instance on the same
server and by configuration you could have
If your using postfix, you could create a bash script that reads the email
as its passed back to postfix from SA, matches text and then sends that
matching email to a specific user. You could even set it up to send to
different mailboxes based on matching different text.

Couple of things:

Closest thing I have found to this has been a plugin/ruleset called
shortcircuit which causes spamassassin to stop scanning an email if a
particular rule is hit. The rules are configured in the .cf file of short
circuit.

Is there a Linux based equivalent to the abaca system of using spam scores
of people who get the most spam and then judging emails based on that
aggregate number?

Yes, I use a local DNS server.. Which does cache.
It was a little while ago, so I don't know if I still have mail logs that I
can look at.

I don't mean to rain on the botnet plugin parade, but when I tried it, my
mail queue slowed to a crawl. Mail became backed up pretty quickly with
processing taking upwards of 10 minutes a message.
Is there something in the config that I missed or it this plugin only meant
for small installations?
How did you setup your spamtrap address with postfix.. Do you have them
delivered after they are scanned by spamassassin or do you scan them and
send them on from there? If you bypass SA, how are you doing that?
If you don't mind, what tarpit settings are you using?

I just upgraded to 3.2.0 from 3.1.7 and now when I send:
"killall -HUP spamd"
It just says: "spamd: no process killed"
But, when I do a ps -ef, there is a spamd and two child processes. This
worked fine in 3.1.7, so I don't know what changed in 3.2 to make it more
resistant to killall.

Nice, I like that! Most of our spam also comes in during the wee hours of

I like the idea.. But based on its current setup, spammers who probably

I am trying my best to explain to a non-technical person how spamassassin
works. The other issue I have is that I am trying to explain to them why
they need to drag mail to a public folder so the server can learn it as
spam. They say they are doing it but they get the message several times a
day.
s. I can also say that it does run better with more rules on a nice
solid hardware platform.. I currently use dual 2.8 Pentiums with 2Gigs of
ram with a hardware raid one.

Is there a setting in the 3.0.x version that allows you to set the time and
what is the command line for that? I looked thru the script and I see a

Currently I am using "./sa-stats.pl -n 40 -w > stats.html" to generate the
