I would sack postfix before SA. Was any attempt made to query a postfix mailing list? Since postfix is installed, I assume that sendmail is not a viable alternative (to be honest I am waiting for the next release of amvis or spamass-milter. Someone mention mime-defang milter also supports SA but I am not sure what else it does, haven't had time to research it).
Exim has support for SA and is supposed to install reasonably easy and there is at least on person on this list that appears to be intimately familiar with SA/Exim. When your looking for free, you have to be flexible. If you cant replace postfix, front end it couple boxes dedicated to running SA+Supported-MTA-of-your-choice. You don't say what your message volume is, but Wal-mart http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=1957333&cat=3951&type= 19&dept=3944 has a mid-tower 800Mhz 128 MB memory 10 GB hard drive CD-ROM drive Integrated 10/100 Ethernet connection LindowsOS operating system Modem and floppy disk drive are not included should handle a moderate volume. Redhat purports to support clustering, and when I get SA integrated into production I am going to explore the next step of a load-balanced SA cluster. -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Findlay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 8:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] (No Subject) is there a user-admin for SA with postfix On Tue, Sep 17, 2002 at 05:58:11PM -0500, dogface wrote: > from what i have read on this list > i would of expected nothing less than > the response i got from you. I'm confused. This mailing list is generally quite informative. > A. after 3 posts maybe someone could have said > that there are no options for what i am asking. After 2 posts, I would have assumed that what I am asking has not been done, not that everyone on the mailing list is being particularly unhelpful. However, you aren't the only one that's come to this conclusion recently. Perhaps we need a FAQ or warning somewhere as follows: Q. Why has my question not been answered? Should I ask again? A. We don't know the answer or you have not provided sufficient information. [insert info on what to provide]. Unless you have more info to add, please do not ask again for at least one week. If you still do not get a reply, assume nobody knows the answer to your problem. If you manage to solve your problem on your own, please mail the list and explain what your problem was and how you fixed it so that people with your problem in the future will be able to find an answer. > B. i already said that i read all i could find because > i did not get any help from this list. i have been RTFM'ing for over a > month. google is your friend.

Perhaps you should have just given this extra info (too much info is better than not enough). > E. do a search on google about SA and postfix. you will see a LOT of > questions from people, Very few if even that on answers. Well, then few people know how to use SA with postfix. I use SA with procmail. Of course, I won't be able to help you. > F. there was no threat. i need to do whatever i can do to help my > users out. if SA cant do the job, i have no choice but to find > something that can. how is that a threat? that's like owning a FORD > that cant make it all the way to work everyday, or find an OLDS that > Will. where is the threat? i have an issue that need to be resolved. Agreed, there's no threat. Please don't say you have an issue that you need to have resolved. We have no obligation to help you, demanding it is only making us less likely to help. > G. from where i stand. a simple "no" or "cant be done" is Way better > than nothing. A "no" or "can't be done" would be a lie. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm sure what you propose can be done, given sufficient will and a little bit of coding. So the answer is "Yes, it can be done, but I don't know if anyone's done it." It certainly is impratical for everyone to respond in such a manner every time someone posts to the list, not to mention it being a waste of bandwidth and everyone's time. You really don't want 200 messages all saying "I'm sure it could be done, but I don't know how" -- Duncan Findlay ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
