Can anybody point me to a reliable way to install basic spam filtering on a fresh etch install?
I have again tried spamassassin, using the notes at http://www.spencerstirling.com/computergeek/email.html to help with the installation, but have had to purge spamassassin and clamav and all related packages as all mail became blocked and the error messages in exim4/paniclog were more than I could deal with. (I did google for help on the specific error messages, but only managed to substitute different errors... I also tried switching off the virus filtering but still got nowhere.) I have also tried http://trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim4_courier/index.html and http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html and others in the past, but never done better than prevent all incoming mail or slow the server to a crawl. Somebody must have found a way to do this. So, I have a huge quantity of spam coming in, and can see no way to stem the tide. Is there a guaranteed method to get this or any other spam filter to run without needing to spend days learning the intricacies of the email system and fine-tuning innumerable config files? I have exim4, courier imap (and I access them via mutt, other users use squirrelmail). I really am tired of deleting hundreds of "best for your health" etc, so any help would be gratefully received. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
