I work at a webhosting company that hosts a few thousand domains for people.

We use Qmail + Vpopmail (+ Squirrelmail, if they want to read their
mail on the web) - on FreeBSD computers.

We'd like to help block all possible spam from our client's boxes, of
course, dumping it all into a [EMAIL PROTECTED] box - if they
want to go look at it.

Because many of our clients like to use the webmail, we can't rely on
their home-PC client-side email app to catch the spam for them.

What's the best plan for this kind of setup?

I'm assuming:

- clamd first kills all emails with viruses
- a system-wide spam-filter kills all positively-spam emails with a
very high spam-probability count (or coming from known spam servers,
etc)
- a user-controlled, user-taught Bayesian filter catches spams they've
taught their preferences to catch.

... or am I approaching this wrong?

Any benefit to having two different kinds of spam filters, so that one
(SpamAssassin?) goes system-wide, and another (Dspam?) is the
user-trained one?

Anyone done this kind of setup successfully for thousands of users?

Any suggestions or pointers to articles appreciated.

- Miles
