Hi,
I am currently using Postfix w/ Amavis-new, Pyzor, DCC and Clam.
I have trained the Bayesian Classifier with over 2,000 ham and 2,000
spam, but I am still getting quite a bit of spam.
I am about to install a new mail server and I wonder if there is
something better than SpamAssassin that works well with Postfix?
The whole combination of Amavis, Pyzor, DCC, etc. seems a bit
complex and it also uses quite a bit of system resources.
I saw someone recommend policy-weightd, but that is no longer
developed since February 2008. I also came across ASSP, but I do
not know much about it yet.
Could someone recommend a really good open source or affordable
commercial anti-spam solution?
Thanks,
JB
Ps. Maybe it is just that I need to tweak SpamAssassin better?
Some good links on this would be helpful as well.
ASSP with ClamAV (make sure you use the Sane Security sigs!) will cut your
spam to practically none.
"practically none" would depend upon your amount of traffic. Our
filter servers get over seven million connections every 24 hours. Sane
Security does a fair job here at pushing the SpamAssassin score above the
default threshold. I would not suggest using the Sane Security updates at
the MTA level. There are legit messages that will trigger and get
rejected.
