Hello, I've got a Postfix email server going with a Mysql database backend on FreeBSD 10.2. I'm now wanting to add Spamassassin to the picture and am wondering current best practices? It's been a number of years since I did it and last time effectiveness wasn't so good. I'm not sure if it was because I was following old information or didn't have things done right configuration wise?
It's looking like I have several options, MailScanner which hooks in to SA, Amavisd-new ditto, or SA as a milter called directly from my MTA. Comments on these or other methods? I'm also wanting to get the latest antispam rules, are those from SA or are there third party rules I should look into? Finally, one of the things I'm going to implement in addition to SA is Sieve, done with my MDA Dovecot, in which mail flagged witha spam header is automatically moved in to a dedicated spam folder. I am then wanting to set up a system to tell SA when it has misclassified a false positive, what are people using in that environment? Any other user feedback appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
