Subject: [CUUG] April 2007 GM: Open Source based Spam Filtering with
Realtime Updates
April General Meeting
Open Source based Spam Filtering with Realtime Updates
Speaker: Mark Leonard
The increase in botnet-originated spam in late 2006 threatened to
overwhelm the mail servers of several of our clients. With modifications
to pre-existing open-source software, we have created a system that
allows any spam-blocking technology (e.g., SpamAssassin) to update a
firewall in real time, thereby reducing the need for resource-intensive
filtering.
Mark Leonard is the president of M&J Leonard Consulting Ltd (MJL), a
small firm that specializes in system and network administration.
Current clients of MJL include Evolvs Media, Webcore Labs, Paper Thin
Walls, iStockPhoto, Davinci Broadband, and Theatre Junction. Prior to
founding MJL, Mark has worked as an administrator for IT firms such as
Critical Mass, Evolvs Media, Webcore Labs, and iStockPhoto. MJL is
currently responsible for e-mail systems with over 1000 domains, 10,000
users, handling over 2 million mail deliveries per day.
